Viva la muerte!

My Debian upgrade greeted me with this: As of gcc-2.95, optimisation at level 2 (-O2) and higher includes an optimisation which breaks C code that does not adhere to the C standard. Such code occurs in the Linux kernel, and probably other places. To compile the kernel (and probably other packages) with -O2 or better optimisation, you need to add '-fno-strict-aliasing' to the compile line (e.g. the CFLAGS settings in ...linux/Makefile). Before submitting a bug report for gcc, check if the package compiles with this flag added. If yes, submit a bug report for the package. More information can be found in /usr/share/doc/gcc/README.Debian.gz [Press RETURN to continue] Has anyone tried to compile and run XEmacs with and without aliasing and with and without union type to see if it works?
