No, it is not only a gcc-4.0 bug.

1) The mozilla codebase has a pervasive aliasing rules violation
   problem, built in quite deep in the codebase. See
   http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11376#c18 and
   http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11376#c38 .

2) GCC 4.0 had some aliasing-related bugs, but the ones that Mozilla
   bugzilla points at are (as far as I understand) solved in the
   current Debian gcc (4.0.2):
