Well, "my target" is x86_64 but yes, it works.

I don't know, at least in theory the optimization might help somewhat
anyway, especially on targets that can handle misalignment memory
accesses.  But you are right that generally misaligned access will be
slow either way.

Anyway, I don't really care, I assume you contributed the code so you
are more qualified to make a judgment and if you prefer one way over
the other, go for it.

I'll leave it to you and won't submit any patch then.  Please make
sure that the two testcases are added to the testsuite before you
close the bug.  The x86_64-linux tetcase from comment #10 is generic
enough that it can go to gcc.dg/torture/, the original ARM one needs
to go to some arm-specific place.
