Peter asked for specific problems with the warnings, and the submitter
produced results. I see no mention of -fno-strict-aliasing:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2006-04/msg00002.php
However, the -f flag is outside the block he modified:
# Disable strict-aliasing rules; needed for gcc 3.3+
PGAC_PROG_CC_CFLAGS_OPT([-fno-strict-aliasing])
That flag is still used for both gcc and the intel compiler, and because
he tested the patch, I assume it works for both too.
