This option is enabled by default at -O2 and higher.  Using
-fno-strict-overflow will tell gcc that it can not assume that signed
overflow is undefined behaviour.  The general effect of using this
option will be that signed overflow will become implementation
defined.  This will disable a number of generally harmless
optimizations, but will not have the same effect as -fwrapv.

Can you share the implementation definition (implementation defined
generally means that the implementation must define what it does).
This seems awfully vague.
