Re: bfd/i386/x86-64 type punning again

Hi DJ,

Do we still like this type of solution?

No, but it works and creating a union just to resolve this kind of problem is overkill, so we are accepting it.

	* elf32-i386.c (elf_i386_check_relocs): Don't cast a unary &
	address operator, as that breaks GCC's strict aliasing rules.
	(elf_i386_size_dynamic_sections): Avoid the need for type
	punning.
	* elf64-x86-64.c (elf_x86_64_check_relocs): Don't cast a unary
	& address operator, as that breaks GCC's strict aliasing
	rules.
	(elf_x86_64_size_dynamic_sections): Avoid the need for type
	punning.

Approved - please apply.

Cheers
  Nick
