It's about alignments and un-aligned loads. Although this is toolchain-related,
this is not necessarily the toolchain's fault.

Ah. ARM and linux-2.4. Don't, 2.4 is considered unmaintained upstream. Upgrade
to linux-2.6.

Bah, I'd say: switch to 2.6. Then contact Snapgear.

And by the way: You're using gcc 3.4 or more recent, and that's where this
option went from "deprecated" to "removed". And it's as well, as nowadays all
loads are aligned on ARM.
