Ok, that's mean that theoretically it would break the ABI, but practically, it does not break the ABI as the alignment is the same (otherwise we would also have noticed SIGBUS in other applications).


Just to clarify: if you fix the inline asm in glibc, then you don't
need to recompile any of the currently broken libraries or
applications.

Good point. However, I am not sure such instructions exists, as it seems the registers to load are 64-bit register. But it's only my opinion, as I don't speak hppa assembly.

Please also note that all the assembly code in sysdeps/hppa/fpu/* seems to need patching.
