Hm?

As far as I remember, most (all?) pkgsrc code compiles with -O2 by
default with 3.x without problems. Don't remember whether this uses
-fno-strict-aliasing or not.

Beside that, I'm interested in hearing about those problems, 
thinking about my own codes.

Can you give some link/details concerning those issues please?
