Dear Kevin
Because there are some aligned instruction will load/store from/to
unaligned base address in some module,such as "lw t0,56(sp) ##sp is odd
address"
that's why I want some special version GCC can avoid generating load/store
4 bytes opcode,then I can use this "GCC" to compile specified module and
linked with others,it will avoid unnecessary exception processing when
these instruction to be invoked and come up with best performance for me.
Regards
William Lei

The MIPS Linux kernel is capable of handling unalgined loads and
stores in emulation. This is less efficient than synthesizing the word
access out of byte or left/right load/store operations in-line, but it's
only done when there really is an unaligned access, whereas forcing
the compiler to synthesize *all* loads/stores adds that overhead
even when the addresses are actually aligned.
