Based on the feedback below, I'd like to reopen this as an enhancement request.
Rationale for requesting this as an enhancment is as follows:
-> restoring gcc 3.x behavior will ease migration to gcc 4.x on alignme

This issue has affected *many* developers on a variety of platforms including
ARM and PPC. There is no elegant way to resolve this without searching through
every line of code. There is a warning -Wcast-align

You're right - I can use aligned, but I will have to search through 100,000+
lines of code to find all the places that character arrays are used and then
add the aligned directive. A lot of this code is open-sourc

You should able to use the attribute aligned to get what you want.

Two questions:
- why change the behavior of gcc from 3.x to 4.x?
- is there any harm in adding alignment for arrays? If not, can we make this an
enhancement request?

As you say, you cannot rely on alignment > 1 for an array of char.
