[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] mk: disable warning with gcc 9 on Fedora 30

[Reshma Pattan]

gcc 9 on Fedora 30 gives an error
"taking address of packed member may result in an
unaligned pointer value" warnings.

For clang builds this warning is already disabled,
so disable "-Waddress-of-packed-member" for gcc builds
also.

Snippet of build error:
...lib/librte_eal/linux/eal/eal_memalloc.c: In function ‘alloc_seg_walk’:
...lib/librte_eal/linux/eal/eal_memalloc.c:768:12: error: taking address
of packed member of ‘struct rte_mem_config’ may result in an unaligned
pointer value [-Werror=address-of-packed-member]
  768 |  cur_msl = &mcfg->memsegs[msl_idx];
      |            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
