Fix two issues regarding Got pointer (GP) setup.
1) make sure that the first two instructions of the sequence cannot
separate from each other. The linker requires that they be sequential.
If they get separated, it can still work but it will not work in all
cases because the first of the instructions mostly involves the hi part
of the pc relative offset and that part changes slowly. You would have
to be at the right boundary for this to matter.
2) make sure that this sequence begins on a longword boundary.
There appears to be a bug in binutils which makes some of these calculations
get messed up if the instruction sequence does not begin on a longword
boundary. This is being investigated with the appropriate binutils folks.
