As far as aligning strings goes, it appears that egcs 2.95.2
doesn't align strings at all.  I would have preferred long word
alignment, and I would have preferred a command line option,
but I can live with this.  (As opposed to cacheline alignment
of strings.)

I am still looking at benchmarking the function alignment
and loop body alignment options for the Linux kernel.
I will copy the results to y'all.


thanks,

Chris Sears
