The problem is that different versions of the GNU assembler
interpret the .align instructions differently. Some expect a
power of two with the alignment directive (.align 3 = align
on 2^3 = 8), others use the literal value (.align 8 = align 8).

This turns out to be the solution. The file README.ELF now instructs
you to apply the patch to clm before installing Clean. Thanks for
this tip.

The next release of Clean will have proper support for ELF.
