This should be enough. Do you want to send a patch for it?

They are optimized by using word alignment. This will work

I am not a toolchain expert. I do use toolchains from Xilinx design tools and I
have also tried toolchains from buildroot.
Linux version 7.3.0-rc1-00017-g139833dc9bf4 (monstr@monstr-desktop3)
(microblazeel-buildroot-linux-uclibc-gcc.br_real (Buildroot
2026.08-rc3-13-geaf7a45ddfdc) 15.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.45.1) #1 Wed Sep

But keep in mind that there is a need to have v15.3.0 or 16.2.0 toolchain fixed
