[gccsdk] alignment error in firefox2

Hi

Testing firefox2 (the zip download, not a local build) on the imx platform shows an alignment error

The stderr o/p is included. Being unfamiliar with this backtrace I can see the issue, but would appreciate pointing to the code that is a bother.

the assembler o/p below shows the error at ldr r12,[r0,#0], and r0 (a1) is cb1071bb, which is not word aligned.. hence the problem.

As a general rule the imx is run grumbling about word alignment exceptions, so I'd like to get to the bottom of this.

Any pointers to better understanding this error dump would be appreciated. (firefox reports as 2.0.0.22(pre))

Thanks
John
