New issue 3771 by [email protected]: V8 is not -fsanitize=alignment clean
https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3771

There are various places in V8 which access unaligned memory via plain pointer dereferences. While this is semantically OK on Intel, it can be a symptom of VM correctness issues (not all platforms like those accesses) and/or performance issues. We should either ensure correct alignment or use memcpy to make it clear to the compiler that we might do an unaligned access.

Examples of this problem are patching of addresses within code and various places in the (de-)serializer.
