This is OK.

One question, though, is whether you should explicitly override a user
request for unaligned accesses without at least warning that this is
being done.


Like this?

config/arm/freebsd.h:

#define SUBTARGET_OVERRIDE_INTERNAL_OPTIONS        \
do {                            \
     if (opts_set->x_unaligned_access == 1)        \
     warning (0, "target CPU does not support unaligned accesses");\
     if (opts->x_unaligned_access)            \
     opts->x_unaligned_access = 0;


Something like that, but the problem is not that the CPU does not
support unaligned accesses, but that FreeBSD does not support CPUs doing
unaligned accesses.

Anyway, I'll pre-approve a patch adding a suitable warning here.

Done:

Thank you,
