Hum, I now understand what Paulo was talking about elsewhere in the thread. If he takes my suggestion to re-write the unaligned functions with GCC packed support, these host ifdefs go away, and this objection disappears. The question becomes one of ordering. Do we take his existing 3-part patch as-is, and the packed patch as a followup? Do we convert to packed accesses first and move it around after? Do we do it all in one step? r~
