I looked it up, and indeed both multiple load/store and
sign extending load insns to cache-inhibited space cause
an alignment exception.

So do add -mno-multiple and -mno-string, and I'll look at
digging up my -mno-lwa patch (it turns out lha is affected
too -- what would be a good name, -mno-algebraic-load?)
