Undefined behavior means anything can happen, so wondering why undefined
behavior doesn't always behave the same doesn't make any sense.  And, both gcc
4.4.5 and 4.5.2 do warn about this with -Wstrict-aliasing=1 -O2:
pr47796.c:25: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer might break
strict-aliasing rules
pr47796.c:31: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer might break
strict-aliasing rules
Please stop reopening this.
