The easiest way to hack around this is usually to sprinkle "packed" decorators on a lot of structure definitions. > It also didn't get rid of the huge number of "cast increases required > alignment of target type" warnings. How troublesome these are depends on the processor. I think the ARMv6 on the RaspberryPi is late enough to support misaligned accesses. It's a big performance hit but better than crashing. > I note we're at version 0.10.8 of this package, but upstream is at > 1.34.2.
