I went through google about this and found out that many projects like Linux, PostgreSQL and others use -fno-strict-aliasing. And nobody could determine if this affects optimnization, so we can use that flag as well and in the meantime slowly change the code.
This is what I thought at the first glance but did not want to undertake anything until we clear this out. I have zero experience about what it meany to use -O switch because we always compile with symbols and w/o optimization. This is far more important (to get a decent coredump) then some (possible marginal) speed improvment. Our server itself is network/IO-bound and not CPU bound, hence we do not really care. But you might, therefore I thougt it is better to ask. Cheers Zoran
