There hopefully is some way to declare the alignment of variables to
byte/word/doubleword hardware boundaries that will solve this.  Seems
like there is some implicit declaration of hardware alignment happening.
Possibly some slight rearrangement of your common variables may solve this.

OTOH there may be no problem if the variable values are being stored
from the side with the smaller alignment.
