It doesn’t really matter whether I would have to bump the SO version upstream or in Debian. In both cases I would have to convince large projects with commercial relevance to make invasive changes to accommodate for a compatibility change in a hobbyist project. This will fail the same way as most attempts to get patches for 2 bytes alignment support merged upstream. The original motivation is to make a change that will fix the alignment problem without large changes to the source as the latter is something that would be rejected outside the m68k scope. Both Debian and upstream would not want to integrate such changes and rather ask us just to drop m68k support altogether. However, I think a good compromise would be to integrate the suggestion by David Brownlee to add an additional ELF note to block the execution of 2 bytes alignment binaries on systems with 4 bytes alignment.
