Disabling unaligned access would be a really perverse thing to do, and I suspect that GCC and glibc already assume that unaligned accesses work so it would require a recompilation of libjvm (and probably the whole OS) to make it work. However, if you really think there's a point to making this a runtime flag I won't resist. Andrew.
