The ENV var setting for alignment exceptions was in WarpOS, not in OS4. If you have problems with alignment, you should use MorphOS.  It handles all unaligned access exceptions on PowerPC. (Just like Linux and OS X does. But, true there are other systems, like NetBSD, which doesn't, like OS4.)
BTW, IIRC earlier OS4 SDK had some problems with binutils (the linker specifically, i think), which could cause misaligned global data structures in the executable. At least i ran into this problem during my Free Pascal port, but back then, the cause was unknown. So i worked it around in the code generator. Later (after SAM appeared, which has much stricter alignment) i was told, that a bug which might be related to this was discovered in the binutils port, and it was fixed in the latest SDK. _________________
