Cheers

+Enables (or disables) reading and writing of 16- and 32- bit values
+from addresses that are not 16- or 32- bit aligned. By default
+unaligned access is disabled for all pre-ARMv6 and all ARMv6-M
+architectures, and enabled for all other architectures. If unaligned
+access is not enabled then words in packed data structures will be
+accessed a byte at a time.
+
+The ARM attribute @code{Tag_CPU_unaligned_access} will be set in the
+generated object file to either true or false, depending upon the
+setting of this option. If unaligned access is enabled then the
+preprocessor symbol @code{__ARM_FEATURE_UNALIGNED} will also be
+defined.
