You're probably converting pointer to char to pointers to types with
more restrictive alignment requirements.

Each C type wider than char has its own alignment requirements. Its
address must be a multiple of its size. The diagnostics you have
quoted above suggest that your program attempts to place such objects
at incorrectly aligned addresses (usually by converting char pointers
or void pointers to pointers to other types).
