Gcc docs tell that the ns32k series has a bug with operands crossing
page boundaries.  This is why STRICT_ALIGNMENT is defined in
tm-ns32k.h.

Could someone tell me whether the bug still is in the 32532 ?
Currently I don't define STRICT_ALIGNMENT in tm-pc532.h and haven't
run into trouble (well, I had some strange crashes when debugging
programs but I account them to my ptrace support which is not that
much tested yet).  But if the bug still exists, I'll have to define
STRICT_ALIGNMENT.
