Seems it was fixed upstream... |

There are two patches upstream, let's include both - cf: http://trubka.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2024-December/017988.html |

The bird package has been updated to include a patch that directly fixes the alignment issue, which previously required the use of the -mno-unaligned-access GCC flag on ARM processors. This patch, originally discussed on the BIRD mailing list [0], modifies the net_addr structure to resolve the alignment problem without needing the workaround. By incorporating this patch, the alignment issue is addressed more efficiently, eliminating the performance, code size, and hardware optimization drawbacks associated with the GCC flag.

Previously, we used the -mno-unaligned-access flag to instruct GCC to forbid unaligned memory access on arm processors. This was a workaround for alignment issues that caused crashes.
This commit imports a patch from the BIRD mailing list discussion [0] that resolves the alignment issue by modifying the net_addr structure, removing the need for the GCC flag. The patch addresses the alignment problem more efficiently and avoids the performance, code size, and hardware optimization drawbacks of the flag.
