Bug#370553: ruby1.8: causes subversion testsuite failure on alpha, arm

[Peter Samuelson]

Further info from Troy: gcc 4.0.3 with -fno-strict-aliasing also seems
to fix this bug.  I would strongly suggest adding -fno-strict-aliasing
in any case (or _properly_ fixing the gcc warnings related to this),
since it's quite possible that other bugs are also lurking due to this.
