Hi Lazarus devs
I'm getting a couple of crashes under arm-linux, which I think are mostly
related to unaligned access. There's a lot of code related to typinfo that
does pointer arithmetic that will definitely break on ARM processors. I
think some of the code probably pre-dates some of the helper functions in
typinfo, but the functions in typinfo are written with aligned access in
mind. I've fixed a particular crash as shown in the attached patch. Is
this acceptable? If so, I can try and fix more of this code.

Hmm, I'll take a look. Is anyone planning to merge any of this?
I've been using Ludo's align_all.diff for several weeks on ARM (Linux)
and SPARC (Linux, Solaris). I'll try a clean trunk when I have time, to
see if the additional file Felipe merged yesterday (r18900) is adequate.
