Hum, I now understand what Paulo was talking about elsewhere in the thread.
If he takes my suggestion to re-write the unaligned functions with GCC packed
support, these host ifdefs go away, and this objection disappears. The
question becomes one of ordering.
Do we take his existing 3-part patch as-is, and the packed patch as a followup?
Do we convert to packed accesses first and move it around after?
Do we do it all in one step?
