in emitGroup, there's an integer-sized write that triggers a sanitizer error (writing to an int-sized slot that isn't 4-byte aligned). This patch hacks around the warning by copying to a uint8_t *, not considered misaligned. The pointer is shifted by Index * sizeof(uint32_t), which should make sure nothing changes functionally.

in emitGroup, there's an integer-sized write that triggers a sanitizer error (writing to an int-sized slot that isn't 4-byte aligned). This patch removes that and uses memcpy instead, to avoid the strict aliasing violation.
The pointer is shifted by Index * sizeof(llvm::ELF::Elf32_Word), which should make sure nothing changes functionally.
