Attached is a patch for configure.in and configure that implements Benjamin's 
suggestion.  The patch sets things up to continue to use -fno-strict-aliasing 
on gcc versions that support -fno-strict-aliasing *and* generate spurious 
warnings without it.  Effectively, that means it adds -fno-strict-aliasing for 
gcc versions < 4.3.

I tested it with gcc-3.4.4 and gcc-4.3.2.  It added -fno-strict-aliasing with 
gcc-3.4.4 and did not with gcc-4.3.2, as desired.  

With the gcc-4.3.2 build, I did a "make test" and no tests failed.  

I also found that pybench ran around 1% faster with the patch.
