Yes. I know recent gcc causes problem because of unaligned access.
There are 2 different proposals, but neither accepted.

This patch is the third one.

I know "wfi" instruction causes compile error in -march=armv5.
Without this, it works but not so good because 2nd CPU wastes cycles.

I wonder, is there any cheat such as ".word 0x...." (putting instruction code directly)
or something.
