Without that flag, LLVM generates unaligned memory access instructions, which are not allowed on ARMv5.
For example, the 'hello world' example from `cargo --new` failed with:
```
$ ./hello
Hello, world!
thread 'main' panicked at 'assertion failed: end <= len', src/libcollections/vec.rs:1113
note: Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace.
```
I traced this error back to the following assembler code in `BufWriter::flush_buf`:
```
6f44: e28d0018 add r0, sp, #24
[...]
6f54: e280b005 add fp, r0, #5
[...]
7018: e5cd001c strb r0, [sp, #28]
701c: e1a0082a lsr r0, sl, #16
7020: 03a01001 moveq r1, #1
7024: e5cb0002 strb r0, [fp, #2]
7028: e1cba0b0 strh sl, [fp]
```
Note that `fp` points to `sp + 29`, so the three `str*`-instructions should fill up a 32bit - value at `sp + 28`, which is later used as the value `n` in `Ok(n) => written += n`. This doesn't work on ARMv5 as the `strh` can't write to the unaligned contents of `fp`, so the upper bits of `n` won't get cleared, leading to the assertion failure in Vec::drain.
With `+strict-align`, the code works as expected.
