Errr, you do know that you can control how unaligned accesses work on the alpha
via sysctls right?

machdep.unaligned_print: 1
machdep.unaligned_fix: 1
machdep.unaligned_sigbus: 0

By default, unaligned accesses do not core dump.  They only do that if you turn
the sigbus sysctl on.  Granted, they are a killer performance wise, but the
program will still run, so I'm not sure marking this broken is correct.
