    sim/erc32: avoid dereferencing type-punned pointer warnings
    
    When building the erc32 simulator I get a few warnings like this:
    
      /tmp/build/sim/../../src/sim/erc32/exec.c:1377:21: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
       1377 |   sregs->fs[rd] = *((float32 *) & ddata[0]);
            |                    ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    The type of '& ddata[0]' will be 'uint32_t *', which is what triggers
    the warning.
    
    This commit makes use of memcpy when performing the type-punning,
    which resolves the above warnings.
    
    With this change, I now see no warnings when compiling exec.c, which
    means that the line in Makefile.in that disables -Werror can be
    removed.
    
    There should be no change in behaviour after this commit.
