I forgot it the first time, tried to send it again, but the source was
too large and it got stopped for moderation...

the hppa-align patch is for a different problem aiui, it's so that we
don't do multiple ldcw's on the same cache line. 

in any case, 3.0.4 (which has this patch) gives the same error.

I've tried, but the gcc folks have put in a different mechanism to do
this, so the patch needs to be reworked, and i haven't gotten back to it
yet.
