>>> Curious about 32-bit arm stack alignment requirements in netbsd
>>> (based on a FreeBSD thread making claims that user space allows
>>> 4-byte stack alignment), I went looking around some in NetBSD

Whooow... I don't know what on earth I'm missing, or what I said that
make you contact NetBSD developers talking about "claims".

Just write some ugly assembler:
======================================
         .arch armv7-a
         .syntax unified
         .data
str1:
         .string "1-6: %d, %d, %d, %d, %d, %d\n"
         .align
         .text
         .global main
main:
         push {r0} @ stack is not 8byte align anymore
         mov r8, 10
loop:
         ldr r0, =str1
         mov r1, 1
         mov r2, 2
         mov r3, 3
         mov r4, 4
         mov r5, 5
         mov r6, 6
         push { r4-r6 } @ alignment will change in the loop
         bl printf
         subs r8, r8, 1
         bne loop
end:
         b end
=====================================================
as -a -o test.o test.s > test.l
cc -o test test.o

And it works. In fact it works in FreeBSD with clang.
But a more complex code, as a said before, calling
SDL2 to use graphics works without any problem on NetBSD
and Linux, but not on FreeBSD.

In fact I like that it doesn't work in FreeBSD, because
that made me correct my code.

That is all I was saying, and now I'm going to just shut the * up.
