Sorry, but this is a no-go. strict-aliasing is the default in GCC for a
very long time (IIRC, since 4.0.0) and must work.

If some code breaks, this code has to be considered broken and must be
fixed. I.e. we'd have to have a concrete piece of code to be able to
analyze and fix what might be going wrong.
