+An @code{.lcomm} directive with no explicit alignment parameter will use this
+macro to set @var{p2var} to the alignment that a request for @var{size} bytes
+will have.  The alignment is expressed as a power of two.  If no alignment
+should take place, the macro definition should do nothing.  Some targets define
+a @code{.bss} directive that is also affected by this macro.  The default
+definition will set @var{p2var} to the truncated power of two of sizes up to
+eight bytes.
