+SECTION .rodata align=16

The section uses the previous alignment argument, yasm spits a warning  
out for me.

I also made the following change to x86inc.asm, but it assumes yasm  
isn't broken. Ideally configure needs to be modified to check if yasm  
aligns sections properly or not, but I haven't figured out a clean way  
of doing that while allowing cross-compilation except by adding a tool  
that parses the mach-o object file (ugh-ly!).

I suppose if someone is cross-compiling for Mac OS X, they should have  
otool or an appropriate objdump available...
