My recollection here (the PA has a ABI which mandates this kind of stuff) is that you have to copy the object out of the potentially unaligned location into a suitably aligned local.
The copy should be occurring in an alignment safe way. It also has to handle structures that are partially in registers, partially in memory and structures which are justified in the wrong direction. We never tried to optimize this stuff. It was rare enough to not worry about. jeff
