The kernel start up code for all of the nommu m68k types expects the
BSS section to be on a 4-byte boundary, and to be a whole number of 32bit

no provision for odd or unaligned accesses.

Although this has always been the case, in practice the BSS was typically
aligned and sized this way. The problem was first observed after commit

not aligned and sized ... ?

Best regards
