Not really. Using the default value (0) for /proc/cpu/alignment, the program will fail with a bad exit code (the read or write value is not good), but it seems that the configure script is ignoring that value... It seems to be a problem with the handling of the return value of the alignment test, perhaps a shell problem? > > I expect that fixing the problem will change the ABI, which is something > we can't (easily) do for the 5.10.1 series.

Telling perl that it can't uses unaligned access on ARM machine will probably make no ABI changes... > > I wonder if the armel slowness reported in #543477 is related. running "time perl -e 'use Getopt::Long;'" does not trigger alignment errors, so this seems unrelated! > > I'm a bit short on time, will investigate properly later. > I'm testing a patch, I will send it as soon asap.
