From 0ee72a15887b838d967c3b05070d5ad86f0d729a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruce Rogers Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2019 10:29:16 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [build] Disable gcc address of packed member warning GCC 9.0 introduces a new warning for using pointers to packed structure and union members. ipxe code is replete with this usage, partly because the architectures it is designed for handle unaligned accesses. Therefore this warning is not very helpful and since the default build considers warnings to be errors, needs to be disabled.
