Well, hmm, I'm not sure. The problem, as you say, is backwards compatibility.
There's already an EF_ALIGN8 flag, so in theory we could make 8-bit alignment
the default tomorrow and nobody would suffer any silent lossage. (I'm not sure
whether the ARM tools generate or respect this.) But, on the other hand,
everyone would have to rebuild all their objects. I guess the way ahead is to
make it a multilib option for now. I'll think about whether the default could
(should) be changed for gcc 3.0.
