issues (if gcc catches them all)
<tschwinge> The strict aliasing things should be fixed, yes. Some might be
from MIG.

+# IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-10-17

+ <braunr> we should build gnumach and the hurd with -fno-strict-aliasing
+ <pinotree> aren't the mig-generated stubs the only issues related to that?
+ <braunr> no
+ <teythoon> b/c we often have pointers of different type pointing to the
+ same address? for example code using libports?
+ <braunr> the old linux code, including pfinet, and even the hurd libraries,
+ use techniques that assume aliasing
+ <braunr> exactly
+ <teythoon> right, I agree
