The code below is an attempt at having the macro add_ssaaaa from GNU

unsigned int& (in GMP, USItype is unsigned int + attrib SI, which are the
same on i386).

First, I'd like to be told if this is not a reasonable thing to do. I
think it is, but I'm not too sure.

The problem is that g++ 3.4.x produces wrong code at -O2 level for this.
The asm produced has no trace of the two tests at the end (it must,
really). No warning is issued.

You are violating C++ aliasing rules.
You are accessing a long variable as an int.

Thanks,
