Strict aliasing used to be a can'o worms...

and last time I tried strict aliasing for Xming (many moons ago) I fell flat
on my face.

But is series 4 gcc now much better? We shall see (I'm testing with libX11
and libXt unchanged; but
everything else ...most X.Org libs, most clients, pixman, Mesa and
xserver... with strict aliasing)
BTW I use -Os optimisation for all except -O2 for pixman and don't build any
xserver drivers.
So far I can't see any problems (famous last words, as they will be very
subtle!)
