Problem report: Struct aliasing problem causes Thread_Ready_Chain corruption in 4.6.99.3

[Eric Norum]

In the interests of not delaying 4.7 for another year I suggest that  
we simply add -fno-strict-aliasing to all gcc invocations.  I don't  
see anything wrong with this approach in the near term.  As has been  
pointed out by others, many other kernel development projects have  
resorted to this technique.

I know that Ralf is opposed to this, but I have not heard a reason to  
convince me.
