How does -fstrict-aliasing come into play?  Is that because of the
fixed-scalar-varying-struct optimization?  

If so, might that not have to do with Jim's observation about MEMs not
having the MEM_IN_STRUCT_P bit set correctly for ARRAY_REFs?

Jim, that part of your patch seems non-controversial.  Can you check
that part in on the mainline and on the branch if it fixes any of the
outstanding branch PRs?

Thanks,
