It would be more than annoying, it would be awful, because would be also emitted to end users of the library, not only at library build time. So... As I see the issue, either we come up with an actual miscompilation caused by the punning, or we have to apply the hack, for this library ABI. I'll try to think a bit more about the issue, then, in a few days we should make a decision... -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24975
