Hello,

  We are currently running gcc versions 2.3.3 and 2.5.7 and it appears that 
gcc assumes double word alignment. This is a problem for our application.
It would be most useful if we could turn off the use of "double load" and 
"double store" by gcc.  Is there ANY way that we can turn off this "feature" 
of gcc? (Rebuilding a customized version is an acceptible solution if there 
are no compile time options to select that will turn off this constraint.  

Suggestions and comments are welcomed.


Cordially,
