Andreas Schwab dixit:
On m68k, every object by default is at most aligned to a 2 byte
boundary. That's a heritage of the original Sun m68000 compiler, which
served as the template for the gcc configuration for Linux/m68k when the
porting started.
Ah, from there. I think it might violate the SYSV ABI, funnily
enough (which I've peeked into in order to port elfutils when
bored again). Oh the history ;)
I looked into fixing that when I ported m68k from a.out to ELF.
Unfortunately, that would have broken a big part of the syscall/ioctl
ABI, so I had to scratch that.
