[PATCH] avoid strict-aliasing warnings in gdbserver/linux-x86-low.c

[Nathan Froyd <froydnj@codesourcery.com>]

I was compiling with a combined tree this evening when the build stopped
with:

/home/froydnj/src/combined-tree/gdb/gdbserver/linux-x86-low.c: In function ‘amd64_emit_const’:
/home/froydnj/src/combined-tree/gdb/gdbserver/linux-x86-low.c:1822:3:
error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Werror=strict-aliasing]

...and several other similar errors.  I don't know why, exactly; I've
been compiling with a combined tree for quite some time and this is the
first problem I've had.

Anyway, the below patch addresses the problem by using memcpy instead,
which is transformed into the same code by the compiler.

Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.  OK to commit?

gdb/gdbserver/
	* linux-x86-low.c (amd64_emit_const): Call memcpy instead of
	casting pointers.
	(amd64_emit_reg, amd64_emit_int_call_1, amd64_emit_void_call_2):
	(i386_emit_const, i386_emit_reg, i386_emit_int_call_1):
	(i386_emit_void_call_2): Likewise.
