Build with the -fno-strict-aliasing flag on GCC. You do not want to know about the 2 hours I just spent tracking down an evdns bug that only affected me on some platforms to the way we were using sockaddr* and sockaddr_in*. Suffice it to say that I do not think this is the only C99-aliasing-dubiousness in our code, nor that I am smart enough to keep my code correct with the GCC's strict aliasing optimizations in place. svn:r1079
