[Bug target/112615] gcc incorrectly assumes char *x[2]={"str1", "str2"} has 16-byte minimum alignment and generates SSE instructions (e.g. movaps) when accessing this data

Or their sources for Oracle DB ... 
I suspect they have an assembly file that contains that variable and didn't
realize the alignment rules.

Note GCC 4.1.2 even sets the alignment to 16 for a simple:
char *x[2]={"str1", "str2"};
