------- Comment #8 from mueller at kde dot org 2005-12-07 16:33 ------- that comparison isn't quite fair. strict aliasing is an optimisation that breaks code when compiled with a newer version of gcc, and there is lots of code to fix because of that.
Sure, you can fix it by reading through all of the source code and debugging where a particular failure comes from, but its easier to recompile with Wall and grep the build log. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14024
