There still issues re the management of the PIC register.  These might
cause the unaligned data accesses that you are seeing.  I know the
mainline gcc was broken by a patch that Alan Modra added to add
dwarf2 profiling support.  On the branch, things are better but I just
discovered a new issue involving inline functions.  Don't know where
things stand with the parisc-linux gcc source.
