Statics aligned to greater than a page cause linker error

[retep998]

On Windows link.exe requires that the alignment of any section is less than or equal to the /ALIGN value. Statics with an alignment of 8192 or greater cause the section to have an alignment of 8192 (but not greater, see #70022), but link.exe has a default /ALIGN of 4096 causing fatal error LNK1164: section 0x6 alignment (8192) greater than /ALIGN value. Specifying -Clink-arg="/ALIGN:8192" causes the error to go away.

Minimal example

#[repr(align(0x100000))]
struct Aligned(u8);

static X: Aligned = Aligned(0);

fn main() {
    println!("{:#x}", &X as *const _ as usize);
}

I no longer get a linker error. Instead rustc outright crashes with STATUS_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION. I don't think this is an improvement.
