Yes.

Simply change the setting of CPU_CFLAGS in the custom/pc386.cfg
file since that is the BSP you are using.

If you want to impact malloc'ed data and task stacks, change 
the setting of CPU_ALIGNMENT in
c/src/exec/score/cpu/i386/rtems/score/cpu.h
and recompile EVERYTHING!!!

Can't prove it without trying it but I don't see any reason why it
would not.  The best case is that it would speed up some items.
