Description

Copied from RT #99171 <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=99171>:

In Debian we are currently applying the following patch to Lucy. We thought you might be interested in it too.

Description: fix misaligned double access on mips
Mips architecture allows accessing doubles only on 8-byte (sizeof(double)) aligned addresses. The code tries to align these on sizeof(void*) which is 4 on mips.
