RE: [iPAQ] v0.16 Status? Doom Status?

George and I were just looking at the lxdoom sourcecode. It has some
serious problems with pointer alignment. As it restores a file, it bumps
forward a char * pointer by various amounts, casts that to char *, short *
or int *, and attempts to access it. I think this probably explains why
lxdoom does not work on ARM.

Add -Wcast-align to CFLAGS to get gcc to tell you where such conversions are
going on.
