Linking Program with Lib That Uses -fwrapv or '-fno-strict-overflow'

Hi All,

Is it possible to build a library which specifies -fwrapv or
'-fno-strict-overflow' but does not penalize the final executable
(with respect to optimizations) after final linking?

The question arises from a library which detects wrap/carry/overflow
and might need to specify -fwrapv or '-fno-strict-overflow' to take
advantage of 2s compliment math used on many modern architectures.
