------- Additional Comments From steven at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-08-23 23:35 ------- Re. comment #3, you can find a whole load of options to control various things about gcc's powerpc backend in the manual. For example in the manual for GCC 4.0.1, you can give this page a look: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.1/gcc/RS_002f6000-and-PowerPC-Options.html#RS_002f6000-and-PowerPC-Options -mstrict-align is there too: -mno-strict-align -mstrict-align On System V.4 and embedded PowerPC systems do not (do) assume that unaligned memory references will be handled by the system.
