Sure, attached a 4.16.2 version.

Cool, thanks, built and so far it works, the warnings are gone.

Thanks for testing on a real hardware! I'm not aware of regular runtime
testing on sparc, the other architectures with strict alignment
requirement have probably the emulation turned on by default so the
warnings do not appear. Or nobody bothers to report them though the
fixes are typically simple.

I like your vintage hw videos, keep going!
