Yeah, gharial and anole both don't like this, which is interesting
but not really surprising, considering that IA64 is in some part
an HPPA follow-on architecture.  What I find more interesting is
that both of the live Sparc critters are happy --- so despite
Thomas' statements upthread, they're coping with unaligned accesses.
Maybe you should have back-patched the test to older branches so
we could see what castoroides and protosciurus would do.  But it's
probably not worth additional delay.
