dbus-daemon unaligned accesses
On my alpha, the system logs are getting spammed with unaligned trap
errors as follows:
[34656.586748] dbus-daemon(700): unaligned trap at 00000200000a9720: 00000000d68c7222 28 18

The current "dbus" package version is 1.12.16-2.
If no one else is actively working to fix this annoyance, I'll see what
I can do. For me, it's mostly a matter of finding the time to download
the source package and its dependencies, build a debug version with
symbols in it that "gdb" can use, and then *maybe* figure out the best
way to code around the unaligned access.
If anyone else has the time and would like to have a go at it, the
following two links might be useful:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Alpha/Porting_guide#Unaligned_accesses
https://www.redhat.com/archives/axp-list/2000-May/msg00151.html
(Yes, the problem has been around at least as long as the alpha
architecture :-) ).
Michael Cree et al.: do we have a working "gdb" on alpha these days?
I seem to recall brokenness there in the not-too-distant past.
