didn't work well until I noticed that the binaries generates lots of
unaligned accesses. ARM kernel I'm using doesn't fix that for the

running soffice and importing a Microsoft word doc I got the following
amount of exceptions -
-bash-3.2# cat /proc/cpu/alignment

Any idea where those unaligned accesses are coming from?
Just do 'echo 5 > /proc/cpu/alignment', enable core dumps, and then run
it again. Then you just have to inspect the core file with gdb.
Any idea if this can be fixed too?
Sure it can.
