Patch #1 is designed to maintain status-quo following the removal of
-fno-strict-aliasing from CWARNFLAGS and does not require subsequent
patches. It's a 'global' setting.

Patch #2 is designed to maintain status-quo, but making it easy for
various parts of the code to enable optimization if appropriate. It was
later altered for XQuartz, which could have been done through a
subsequent patch.

The alternative to patch #2 is for components to append
-fstrict-aliasing to override -fno-strict-aliasing.
