Bug#842780: Fix SIGBUS on sparc64

[James Clarke]

Source: ghc
Version: 8.0.1-8
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Usertags: sparc64

Hi,
Please find attached a patch to ensure GHC does not perform unaligned
accesses on sparc64 (and sparc if native code gen is disabled, but
there's no sparc64 native code gen support). This is currently blocking
all of Haskell on sparc64.

Regards,
James
