This padding is added by the compiler, inside the section.
The labels are created by the linker. i.e.:
.globl preinit_array
.section .preinit_array,"a",@progbits
.align 16
.type preinit_array, @object
.size preinit_array, 24
preinit_array:
.quad ...
This doesn't explain exactly what I saw, which was the linker symbols and
the sections not starting at the same address. But even if they matched,
the leading or trailing zeros bite.
