That might be worth a try.  Sven, if you compile with -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing,
does that fix things?  And if that doesn't work, does -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing
-fno-strict-overflow do the trick?

If so, we could tweak the Emacs 23 configure.in so that the
default optimization flag is -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing instead of -O2,
when the compiler accepts the -fno-strict-aliasing flag.  That might be
easier than backporting the fix.
