Temporarily setting -Wno-address-of-packed-member to suppress this.

Apparently the code works fine, and in the past upstream suppressed this 
type of warnings by default, dropping it only when older compilers 
failed to parse that build flag (by fixing the code issue at the time).

Lowering (but not closing) this bug as reminder to have this issue fixed 
properly.
