On gcc 6 at least, the function seems[1] to end up inlined even with -O0. Interestingly, at -O2 even with -DNO_UNALIGNED_LOADS, gcc converts the result to a movl and a bswap. Which is the same thing our unaligned-loads path is trying for. I wonder if we could/should just drop it (that _would_ punish -O0 on x86, though). -Peff
