In this case we would need to add -fno-strict-aliasing to CFLAGS for the 
whole 'int' test set, since we follow 'baseline' rules. That would 
result overall performance degradation. Thus we prefer alternative 
sources in this particular case.

We have made some changes for 176.gcc in spec cpu2000 v1.3 (see 
http://www.spec.org/cpu2000/issues/). We can either assist in submitting 
issues via Intel's representative in SPEC committee later on.
