--- Comment #4 from Richard Earnshaw <rearnsha at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Having given this some thought, there is perhaps a worthwhile enhancement
opportunity here.  We should probably add some options similar to those used in
the CHRIS port that allow users to turn off over-alignment.

       -mstack-align
       -mno-stack-align
       -mdata-align
       -mno-data-align
       -mconst-align
       -mno-const-align

I would expect the -m<type>-align options to remain the default setting,
however.
