The toolchain can be found here: http://www.plugcomputer.org/405/us/gplugd/tool-chain/arm-marvell-linux-gnueabi.tar.bz2
But since it turns out to be a compiler issue I dont know if its worth to be investigated further. I think the best solution to avoid that structure alignment problem is to simply use another toolchain.
Dave, I thank you very much for your help and efforts to clarify that this is actually not a bug in the kernel.
Thx, Lino
