Hi Lin, thanks for clarifying this.
If you say you can't sign the FSF copyright assignment, we can't use your patch, I'm afraid. Well, I was curious how to proceed, because these unaligned stm instructions are also a problem under linux. The test cases don't fail, because the exception handler emulates these instructions, but that is quite annoying, because each time the test suite runs, there are many syslog entries complaining about unaligned stm instructions. Actually I had begun to work on a patch for this issue at about the same time when you posted your patch. As it looked like your patch was likely to be approved soon, I decided to wait for your patch. But now I think, maybe I should propose my alternative patch instead, if you don't mind. Regards Bernd.
