RTEMS crash with mem address not aligned failure

[Hoefle Marco]

Hello everybody,
I can confirm that with the newlib git mirror which Sebastian mentioned
the problem does not occur anymore. So it was definitely a newlib issue.
The newlib cvs repo didn't work for some time anyway...

For the RTEMS source builder it would be good that for example the
rtems-sparc.bset is using defined repo commits (so not the head of a git
or cvs repo) per default. Experienced users could than change the bset
to the latest and greatest.

For RTEMS beginners things like this result in more grey hair ;-)
Marco

Hmm... I wonder if something was fixed in newlib.
