Some files are aligned at 4KB, 64KB etc in QNXIFS. This is due to the implicit settings of page-sizes used by mkifs. The default settings gets loaded from ${QNX_TARGET}/${PROCESSOR}/boot/sys/*.boot. To be more specific, it uses the following two settings from arm platform *.boot files:
+big_pages
pagesizes=4k,64k,1m
Since the default loaded boot files have the above settings, the binary images are aligned to 4K/64K/1M sizes depending on the size of their code section. To disable this you can simply add [-big_pages] before any of your binaries listing in the build file. On how to use 'big_pages' and 'pagesizes' attributes you can refer the mkifs help page.
