bug#17501: ARM cast-align Error

[Nathan]

Oh bugger, I should have added that I'm cross-compiling from amd64 to ARM.
I think that is important and probably would help clear things up.

And so for more completeness:
Build machine:
  config.log
    $ ./configure --prefix=/arm-linux-gnueabihf
--build=x86_64-cross-linux-gnu --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf
--without-included-regex --quiet CFLAGS=-O3 -pipe -mfpu=neon
-mtune=cortex-a9 -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard CXXFLAGS=-O3 -pipe
-mfpu=neon -mtune=cortex-a9 -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard
LDFLAGS=-L/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib
CPPFLAGS=-I/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include

What I ended up doing was just sed-ing configure to wipe out Wcast-align.
