    MSP430: Word align __*_array_start symbols in sim linker scripts
    
    __{preinit,init,fini}_array_start symbols must be word aligned in
    linker scripts. If the section preceding the __*_array_start symbol
    has an odd size, then a NULL byte will be present between the start
    symbol and the .*_array section itself, when the section gets
    automatically word-aligned.
    
    This results in a branch to an invalid address when the CRT startup
    code tries to run through the functions listed in the array sections.
