As part of testing for an update to Mesa 10.4 in OpenBSD Matthieu Herrb found an alignment related crash with classic swrast on mips64el.  I've also reproduced this on sparc64 which also has a requirement for strict 8 byte pointer alignment.

As tracked down by Mark Kettenis since 483dc973c431cadec69b36e58a4559c734a7ef16 union gl_dlist_node no longer has a pointer in it so pointers returned from 
_mesa_dlist_alloc are only guaranteed to be 4 byte aligned.

_mesa_dlist_alloc(struct gl_context *ctx, GLuint opcode, GLuint bytes)
{
   Node *n = dlist_alloc(ctx, (OpCode) opcode, bytes);
   if (n)
      return n + 1;  /* return pointer to payload area, after opcode */
   else
      return NULL;
}

    mesa: remove gl_dlist_node::next pointer to reduce dlist memory use
    
    Now, sizeof(gl_dlist_node)==4 even on 64-bit systems.  This can
    halve the memory used by some display lists on 64-bit systems.

Adding a void * pointer back to gl_dlist_node prevents the crash.
