That's fairly simple, once you look at it.  Whenever a .common
directive with an alignment parameter is processed, the gas updates
the alignment requirements of the bss section as well via
record_alignment().  That interface, however, takes a logarithmic
argument (as does frag_align()).

I've committed a fix; check out tc-sparc rev. 1.4.
