[PATCH] acpica: add -fno-strict-aliasing to ignore type punning warnings (LP: #971886)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

We don't have much control over the quality of code in the ACPICA core that
is incorporated into fwts.  When compiled on Gentoo there are a bunch of
"dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules" warnings
which we can't easily fix.  For now, just use -fno-strict-aliasing on the
ACPICA core to workaround this noise.
