# AX_MISALIGNED_ACCESS_FAILS(MACHINE, [ACTION-IF-MISALIGNED-FAILS], [ACTION-IF-MISALIGNED-OK])
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Check if a specified machine type cannot handle misaligned data. That is, multi-byte data
# types which are not properly aligned in memory fail. Many machines are happy to work with
# misaligned data, but slowing down a bit. Other machines just won't tolerate such data.
#
# This is a simple lookup amongst machines known to the current autotools. So far we only deal
# with the ARM and sparc.
# A lookup is used, as many of the devices which cannot handled misaligned access are embedded
# processors, for which the code normally be cross-compiled.
