+    backends: Ignore GCC8 -Wpacked-not-aligned for m68k_corenote.c.
+    
+    The GCC8 -Wpacked-not-aligned warns if a structure field with explicit
+    padding in a packed structure will be misaligned. m68k prstatus core
+    notes are described by a packed structure which has such aligned structure
+    fields.
+
