It is correct for the compiler to be doing this - the compiler has just not been given enough information. buf can only get aligned to 8 bytes if there is an input attribute setting the alignment properly otherwise it's a char array and the compiler is within it's rights not to have to force align upwards to 8 bytes in this case. When the compiler is derefencing de->d_off it expects it to be naturally 8 byte aligned. Fix the source.
