Hi,

If you look at the code in NSData.m you will see that just before the failing 
line there is an #if NEED_WORD_ALIGNMENT clause. The question now is why this 
isn't defined in your case. You will have to report back the configure results 
of your Sparc machine.

Hope this helps,
Yes, it helps! If I manually change that value to 1 and recompile it works.

I remember having htis topic already with Richard. I think the align test was tweaked

Richard, do you rember?

I upgraded this box to gcc 4.9 in the meanwhile, that's the only change I can think of.

See here:
configure:21236: checking short/int needs to be word aligned
configure:21255: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/opt/csw/include -I/opt/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers -I/opt/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers -I/opt/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers -L/opt/csw/lib -R/opt/csw/lib -L/opt/csw/lib/ffi -R/opt/csw/lib/ffi -L/opt/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries -L/opt/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries -L/opt/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries conftest.c -lnsl -lrt -ldl -lpthread -lz >&5

      ^
configure:21259: $? = 0
configure:21265: ./conftest
configure:21269: $? = 0
configure:21294: result: no

However, if I do "gcc config.align.c" and then run "a.out"

$ ./a.out
Bus Error (core dumped)

That's a big fat crash... so? what's wrong with the test? this is somehow a de-ja-vu.
