[ Forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/382153  This issue has been reported
by Margarita Manterola who also provided the testcase ]

If you compile the following testcase with -Wcast-align  you get a warning
on certain architectures, including alpha, arm, hppa, ia64 and sparc.
I've verified this on ia64 with gcc 4.0, 4.1 and 4.3.  3.3 and 3.4 don't
show this warning. The warning goes away when you include <iostream> in
addition to <string>.

        string hi;
        hi = "Hi";
        return 0;
