AFAIK, this is not a regression in Xcode, but a new warning for a bad situation
that was previously unreported.

The code still builds, but the pointers that dmd generates in the object files
were misaligned.

It is a regression of DMD, because older versions of DMD did not generate
misaligned data.

I think we can fix in the stable branch, and move on here.
