: Sounds like the next step is to refrob the struct alignment for
   : egcs/sparc (to be 32-bit aligned, or whatever gcc2.7.2.2 does).
   
   Hm.  Can someone test the difference - does egcs 1.1 only enforce 16 bits,
   whereas 32 bits are on 2.7.2.2?  That's easy to fix in sparc/netbsd.h.


i read the assembler output, and as far as i could tell, they were
basically identical -- both spat out bss instructions for "2" byte
alignment.  this is correct.  gcc was just getting lucky somehow..
