Are you saying that you know the warning is a false alarm? Can you
provide some justification.

If it's not a false alarm then it's not a gcc3 problem either and
adding -fno-strict-aliasing would be simply hiding the problem. gcc
is warning us that *any* C99 compiler is allowed to make these
optimisations. Yes, adding -fno-strict-aliasing will stop gcc making
the optimisations, but it provides no guarantee that some other
compiler won't make the same assumptions and so optimise it.
