Hello,

I am running 1.5.2 on a DEC Alpha, and have bumped into what I believe is
an unaligned access in the C library.  At least, I have an application
which blows up with "unaligned access" only when compiled with "-pg" for
profiling.  When I run the address through gbd, this is what I get:

% test/unix_util.TEST -r test/input.dump.1 tcp
pid 25891 (unix_util.TEST): unaligned access: va=0x1201aef14 pc=0x1200244d8 ra=0x120016e1c op=ldq
Segmentation fault
% gdb !:0                                                        (returned 139)
gdb test/unix_util.TEST

(gdb) l *0x1200244d8
0x1200244d8 is in __setjmp14 (/usr/src/lib/libc/arch/alpha/gen/__setjmp14.S:67).
/usr/src/lib/libc/arch/alpha/gen/__setjmp14.S:62: No such file or directory.

$1 = 0
(gdb) l *0x120016e1c
No source file for address 0x120016e1c.
(gdb)

If I pop open __setjmp14.c, line 67 contains CALL:

    /* see what's blocked */
    mov zero, a0            /* how (insignificant) */
    mov zero, a1            /* set (NULL) */
    lda a2, 648(s0)         /* point to mask in sc */
    CALL(__sigprocmask14)

Which expands to:

/*
 * CALL
 *  Function invocation
 */
#define CALL(_name_)                        \
    .loc    1 __LINE__;                 \
    jsr ra,_name_;                  \
    ldgp    gp,0(ra)


Any advice?
