General remark: I'd strongly suggest not to copy-paste in a list reply
somtheing that looks suspiciously like a (new) patch. It leads to this
kind of things: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/190403/ which may not
be what you wanted.

I suspect that you meant

PLATFORM_NO_UNALIGNED := $(call cc-option,-mno-unaligned-access,)
