Greetings,
sun's cc has an option -misalign which :
Generate code to  allow  loading  and  storage  of
misaligned data (Sun-4 systems only).

Is there an equivalent for gcc ? It seems that w/sun's cc, I don't
need to worry about data alignment (am I right ?) even though the 
SPARC only accesses word boundaries. Can gcc also enable to not worry
about data alignment  regardless of the machine (Sun, AIX ? ).

Thanks,
Jaideep
