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
