  Actually it worked fine on my 7455 and 604 PPCs as well.  However, 
  I experienced the same  problem as what Phil Torre  described 
  about the formatted i/o functions (printf and friends) .  The 
  workaround is to break down one 'long long' into  two 
  'longs'  for the printf and  friends.   I am using 
  the newlib-1.11.0.   Perhaps you have a newer veriosn ?

  I think  Sergei meant -mstrict-align, not -fstrict-align.   Correct ? 
  I did not find -fstrict-align in my GCC doc.

  Thanks,
