Now tested with a non-trivial program on both ARM on Qemu and running 
natively on an NSLU2 "Slug" (describes itself as XScale-IXP42x, for 
completeness little-endian). No obvious issues on either ARM or SPARC.

Do you think you could explain why you started having alignment problems 
on x86 Solaris when x86 Linux is OK? And what does 
FPC_REQUIRES_PROPER_ALIGNMENT actually do- I noticed it when I started 
working through the MIPS code generation.
