Subject: [Patch] kbuild: fix a compile warning


I got this warning:

 HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
scripts/basic/fixdep.c: In function 'traps':
scripts/basic/fixdep.c:377: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
scripts/basic/fixdep.c:379: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

Patch below fixes it.
