For Debian, we have superh and i386, out of these. It is entirely

I'm not aware of any serious issues with alignment on i386.
i386 was the original target for 90% of the software in Debian, so if
there are issues, developers have already addressed them.
And they did so without needing a new ABI...
Because on i386, the original ABI designers didn't make the mistake to enforce
an unnatural alignment.
Honestly, what exactly do you expect to achieve with messages like this?
If you want me to just drop the port, then just say it.
