Unaligned access to packed structs on ppc405

- Subject: Unaligned access to packed structs on ppc405
Greetings,
I am cross-compiling on GCC 3.4.1 for the PowerPC 405, which can handle
unaligned accesses in hardware.
Whenever I am accessing members of a packed bit-struct by pointer, the
compiler produces byte accesses, instead of 4-byte acceses.
I've tried to use |-mstrict-align but to no avail.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Yaro
