From: He Zhe <zhe.he at windriver.com>

Backport a patch from upstream to fix the following build failure.

x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/include/rte_ether.h:178:2: error:
converting a packed 'const struct ether_addr' pointer (alignment 1) to a 'unaligned_uint16_t' {aka 'const short
 unsigned int'} pointer (alignment 2) may result in an unaligned pointer value [-Werror=address-of-packed-member]
|   178 |  const unaligned_uint16_t *ea_words = (const unaligned_uint16_t *)ea;
|       |  ^~~~~

+Subject: [PATCH] mk: disable warning for packed member pointer
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+gcc 9 on Fedora 30 gives an error
+"taking address of packed member may result in an
+unaligned pointer value" warnings.
+
+For clang builds this warning is already disabled,
+so disable "-Waddress-of-packed-member" for gcc builds
+also.
+
+Snippet of build error:
+lib/librte_eal/linux/eal/eal_memalloc.c: In function ‘alloc_seg_walk’:
+lib/librte_eal/linux/eal/eal_memalloc.c:768:12: error:
+taking address of packed member of ‘struct rte_mem_config’ may result
+in an unaligned pointer value [-Werror=address-of-packed-member]
+  768 |  cur_msl = &mcfg->memsegs[msl_idx];
+      |            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
