most likely ... a lot of misalignment issues were found in the linux kernel 
after moving to gcc-4 (in fact, there are still misalignment crap in parts)

so this is almost certainly bugs in the FreeBSD code rather than bad code

<=gcc-3.4 was much safer when it came to default alignment so no one noticed
