There are many many many places where alignment is required, and where incorrect alignment could cause almost random and impossible to debug problems. It is possible to enforce alignment with directives, the problem is locating all the relevant places, and to ensure that alignment directives don't cause unexpected internal padding. (Yes there are assumptions about that as well.) Unless you're dying to use Erlang on M68K, don't bother.
Thaks for the info! I would just like erlang to run on all Debian GNU/Linux supported architectures. I'm not using erlang on m68k architecture myself. -- Sergei Golovan
