If alignment fixup is not enabled, the rc2 tests will fail and thus the build will fail. Expected results: The build should succeed without alignment errors. Additional info: Recent ARMv7 chips includes automatic alignment fix-up in hardware, so testing for this has to be done on an ARMv6 processor or earlier.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

This no longer appears to occur since nss-3.15.x. The last affected version was 3.14.x.
