mucking with CFLAGS without documentation is wrong.  compiler warnings come 
and go, so a flag that was relevant one day could be completely extraneous the 
next.

however, especially with strict aliasing, you arent "just fixing warnings", 
you're changing optimization behavior of gcc to workaround broken C code.  
this obviously does not fall anywhere near the "trivial" mark.

i see you still havent fixed this, so get on it already.  a bug needs to be 
opened somewhere to get the package properly *fixed*, and your change either 
out right reverted or add a comment around the flag to indicate the open bug 
on the issue.
