I've been looking at this issue in another context.  Is it desirable
that casting to void* should disable the warning?  The cast does not
disable the optimization which the warning is about.

See, e.g.,
    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2005-07/msg00290.html
in which a cast to char* disables the warning, but the type punning
does break the aliasing rules.
