ld 2.11: unaligned memory access for unions

[Eberhard Mattes]

peigen.c of binutils 2.11 does this:

      memcpy (in->_n._n_name, ext->e.e_name, SYMNMLEN);

where IN and EXT may be unaligned pointer unions containing a word (in
members different from those used above).  GCC assumes that the
pointers are aligned (according to the word size) and generates inline
code which copies word by word.  Of course, this fails on machines
which don't support unaligned access to words.

Here's a quick and dirty fix for this problem (add near the beginning
of peigen.c):

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void xmemcpy (void *dst, const void *src, size_t n)
{
  memcpy (dst, src, n);
}
#define memcpy xmemcpy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
