Hm, I thought all the crazy had been eliminated already.

*looks again*

I guess "using a single 32-bit load" makes it sound like it's using a
big-endian load instead of a load followed by twiddling in registers.

Simplest fix would be to drop the phrase "by using a single 32-bit
load", leaving "... and gcc takes full advantage, resulting in a whole
bunch of unaligned access traps."  Would that work for you, or should
I resend?

Thanks,
Jonathan
