This is not a compiler bug. When accessing 32 bit values like an int on a RISC CPU like the ARM, the pointer has to be 32 bit aligned. The problem is the original source code is not written in a portable way. There's absolutely no guarantee that your char* will be 32 bit aligned after casting it to int* or similar and the result is undefined.
