riscv32 : -mno-strict-align has no effect

[Alex Rocha Prado]

  Hi,

  Given the test source code below (example):

void foo(void)
{
   *((int*) 0x1001) = *((int*) 0x2003);
}

  I have run to compilations using the following command lines on gcc 9.2.0:

$ riscv32-unknown-elf-gcc -mno-strict-align -O2 -S -mabi=ilp32 -march=rv32i

and

$ riscv32-unknown-elf-gcc -mstrict-align -O2 -S -mabi=ilp32 -march=rv32i

It happens that both line generate the same code, so there is some kind of problem with gcc, correct ?

Regards,
