[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 13/15] gcc/arm: avoid alignment errors to break build

[Jan Viktorin <viktorin@rehivetech.com>]

There several issues with alignment when compiling for ARMv7.
They are not considered to be fatal (ARMv7 supports unaligned
access of 32b words), so we just leave them as warnings. They
should be solved later, however.
