Thus, all instructions that load or store one or more registers have an alignment check that the address being accessed is aligned to the size of the data element(s) being accessed. If this check fails it causes an Alignment fault, which is taken as a Data Abort exception. The compiler needs to be aware that it must not emit load and store instructions resulting in unaligned accesses. It already is for AArch64 builds (see commit fa1d37122c "Add -mstrict-align to the gcc options"), this patch does the same for AArch32 builds.
