All SWIG bindings (including the Ruby bindings) must be compiled using
the -fno-strict-aliasing flag, because SWIG uses typecasts which are
not safe under strict aliasing rules. Normally, the Ruby bindings
inherit the -fno-strict-aliasing flag from Ruby, but if it doesn't,
you'll need to hack the Ruby SWIG bindings to also use the flag.

Cheers,
