don't assume reloc_addr passed to elf_machine_rel* is aligned

Here's a patch that implements the latter, such that, hopefully,
mips*-linux* will build again.  This patch should fix all ports such
that they still compile and behave the same as they did before (except
where the compiler would optimize away alignment tests, which it
might, and now won't), but I'll leave the taking (dis)advantage of any
mis-alignment issues up to the maintainers of each port.  Ok to
install?
