No.  What'll happen is that the Fortran front end simply won't
set any alias sets, and so normally the strict alias code just
won't fire.

However, it is well within the relm of possibility that we can
use alias sets for spill slots and whatnot, independant of the
source language.  So it wouldn't be especially good to just 
turn off -fstrict-aliasing arbitrarily.
