+    libelf: Fixup SHF_COMPRESSED sh_addralign in elf_update if necessary.
+    
+    In elf_getdata.c we have the following to compensate for possibly
+    bad sh_addralign values of compressed sections:
+    
+          /* Compressed data has a header, but then compressed data.
+             Make sure to set the alignment of the header explicitly,
+             don't trust the file alignment for the section, it is
+             often wrong.  */
+          if ((flags & SHF_COMPRESSED) != 0)
+            {
+              entsize = 1;
+              align = __libelf_type_align (elf->class, ELF_T_CHDR);
+            }
+    
+    Which makes sure the d_data alignment is correct for the Chdr struct
+    at the start of the compressed section.
+    
+    But this means that if a user just reads such a compressed section
+    without changing it, and then tries to write it out again using
+    elf_update they get an error message about d_align and sh_addralign
+    being out of sync.
+    
+    We already correct obviously incorrect sh_entsize fields.
+    Do the same for the sh_addralign field of a SHF_COMPRESSED section.
