Comment (by Sebastian Huber):

 GCC has an -malign-int option to increase the alignment of some basic
 types:

 https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/M680x0-Options.html

 It includes this warning:
 {{{
 Warning: if you use the -malign-int switch, GCC aligns structures
 containing the above types differently than most published application
 binary interface specifications for the m68k.
 }}}
 Should we use this flag for the Coldfire variants?
