Just had a look on mips (one of the arches where it currently matters for me) and both 3.2 and 3.3 are generating ".align 2" rather than ".align 4". As far as I know this hasn't caused a problem in the past. Have I just been lucky or is this also fine? Or is it something that should be fixed? Thanks Ian
