What's the meaning of "Algn" in "objdump -h"?

Hi,

Under MinGW32 I got the following results:

C:\MSYS\home\jimeng>type x.c
short b __attribute__((aligned(16)));


C:\MSYS\home\jimeng>objdump -h x.o

x.o:     file format pe-i386

Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
  0 .text         00000000  00000000  00000000  00000000  2**2
                  ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
  1 .data         00000000  00000000  00000000  00000000  2**2
                  ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
  2 .bss          00000000  00000000  00000000  00000000  2**2
                  ALLOC

Shouldn't .data be aligned to "2**4" or the "Algn" of an object doesn't mean 
too much?
