The -Wstrict-aliasing warning was gated on flag_strict_aliasing, so
passing -fno-strict-aliasing silenced the warning even when explicitly
requested with -Wstrict-aliasing. The warning analysis is purely
type-based and does not depend on the optimization being active, so
temporarily enable flag_strict_aliasing around the alias set query
calls to get meaningful results for the warning.

Higher levels correspond to higher accuracy (fewer false positives).
Higher levels also correspond to more effort, similar to the way @option{-O}
works.
