I keep seeing these errors. Any openrisc/gcc/kbuild people
interested in looking into this?

I still think it's a bug in the openrisc compiler used.

struct vring_avail {
        unsigned short flags;
        unsigned short idx;
};

struct vring_avail *x;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

        footest();
        if (__alignof__(*x) == 1)
                foo1();
        else if (__alignof__(*x) == 2)
                foo2();
        else if (__alignof__(*x) == 4)
                foo4();
        else if (__alignof__(*x) == 8)
                foo8();
        else
                fooother();
        return 0;
}

when compiled with the openrisc compiler from kernel.org this calls foo4
and it really should call foo2, since the openrisc manual says:

16.1.2
Aggregates and Unions
Aggregates (structures and arrays) and unions assume the alignment of
their most
strictly aligned element.

and alignment for unsigned short is 2.
