gcc 4.1.1?

BTW, I'm not 100% sure that -fno-strict-aliasing is the right flag to  
use. I just know that by trying them in order (as described in gcc man  
page) and above -O1, this was the one that started the problems. Then  
I went the other way and did -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing (i.e. removed  
only that one from the lot above -O1) and the assembly was still good.

The manual page of gcc seem to suggest that "type-punning" may cause  
problems like this.

I will report this in Red Hat Bugzilla and we'll see what the problem  
really is (i.e. is it something in gcc or maybe even APR).
