 I have this:

.L14:
	sub	r1, r3, #16	@ 130	*arm_addsi3/7	[length = 4]
	add	r3, r3, #16	@ 135	*arm_addsi3/2	[length = 4]
	vld1.8	{q8}, [r1]	@ 131	*movmisalignv16qi_neon_load	[length = 4]
	cmp	r3, r0	@ 136	*arm_cmpsi_insn/3	[length = 4]
	vst1.64	{d16-d17}, [r2:64]!	@ 133	*neon_movv16qi/2	[length = 8]
	bne	.L14	@ 137	arm_cond_branch	[length = 4]

without and this:

.L14:
	vldr	d16, [r3, #-16]	@ 130	*neon_movv16qi/4	[length = 8]
	vldr	d17, [r3, #-8]
	add	r3, r3, #16	@ 133	*arm_addsi3/2	[length = 4]
	cmp	r3, r1	@ 134	*arm_cmpsi_insn/3	[length = 4]
	vst1.64	{d16-d17}, [r2:64]!	@ 131	*neon_movv16qi/2	[length = 8]
	bne	.L14	@ 135	arm_cond_branch	[length = 4]

with your change applied respectively so clearly it's making its intended 
effect of disabling the use of movmisalignv16qi_neon_load.

 However VLD1.8 can also be produced from other RTL patterns, or maybe you 
don't have `unaligned_access' set to zero for some reason, which you 
should (for ARMv5TE) according to this gcc/config/arm/arm.c piece:

  /* Enable -munaligned-access by default for
     - all ARMv6 architecture-based processors
     - ARMv7-A, ARMv7-R, and ARMv7-M architecture-based processors.
     - ARMv8 architecture-base processors.

     Disable -munaligned-access by default for
     - all pre-ARMv6 architecture-based processors
     - ARMv6-M architecture-based processors.  */

  if (unaligned_access == 2)
    {
      if (arm_arch6 && (arm_arch_notm || arm_arch7))
	unaligned_access = 1;
      else
	unaligned_access = 0;
    }
  else if (unaligned_access == 1
	   && !(arm_arch6 && (arm_arch_notm || arm_arch7)))
    {
      warning (0, "target CPU does not support unaligned accesses");
      unaligned_access = 0;
    }

-- can you build vect-72.c with -dp and see which pattern VLD1.8 is 
produced from in your case?

 As to the GCC configure options I have as I say nothing there beyond 
making -march=armv5te the default (surely you're not interested in 
--prefix, etc.).  For the record the test framework adds these options on 
top of that for this particular case:

-fno-diagnostics-show-caret -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp -ffast-math 
-ftree-vectorize -fno-vect-cost-model -fno-common -O2 
-fdump-tree-vect-details

but these should be no different in your case (except perhaps from 
`-mfloat-abi=', but that shouldn't matter as this is no FP code).

 I have double-checked with current (r210984) 4.8 now and the issue is 
still there.
