Thanks for fixing this!  The line

+       as_bad_where (fixP->fx_file, fixP->fx_line, _("offset to unaligned destination"));

should be wrapped like as

+       as_bad_where (fixP->fx_file, fixP->fx_line,
+                     _("offset to unaligned destination"));

The patch itself looks fine with that change, though

We should apply the above patch together with the tweaks of
affected testcases, shouldn't we?  I'm afraid that applying
the patch alone surprises people who run build/tests for
multiple targets including SH.
