Is there any way to request that alignment of integers be forced to
longword (4 byte) addresses?  I'm using a 68020, and while the CPU doesn't
require this, I guess for historical reasons and 68000 compatibility, the
compiler aligns integers on shortword (even) boundaries.  I'd like to
request that the alignment be forced to longword boundary, so only one
memory cycle, rather than two, will be needed.  To complicate it, I'd like
to make this request on a per-struct basis.

Thanks,
