The functions in this issue use weird workarounds to obtain bin exactness, which should be looked into to find a proper fix in the future.

Uses alignment of 1:

GetDirection8 [missiles.cpp]
NetSendCmdLoc [msg.cpp]
NetSendCmdParam1 [msg.cpp]

Uses a volatile variable:

MAI_Lazhelp [monster.cpp]

Uses variable to trick optimizer:

gmenu_draw_menu_item [gmenu.cpp]
scrollrt_draw_dungeon [scrollrt.cpp]

Uses a label/goto:

TalkToTowner [towners.cpp]

volatile is recommended by MS each time there is a bug with the compiler so probably this was added for just such a case.
