This seems most likely a COFF vs ELF problem ; as far as i know COFF does
not support aliasing like ELF does. However you might be interested in an
experimental i960-intel-elf port of gcc which is being succesfully used in
the development of an alternate i960 RP eCos port ; please tell me if you
need the patch.
