There's a big chat about it at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-07/threads.html#00204
I don't know if visibility should actually be called "broken" so as to
be fixed, but it has changed sufficiently that existing markup doesn't
really cut it anymore :-(

No, I just meant that from that build.log I can see plenty of warnings
about "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing
rules"
http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/logs/fedora-development-extras/12668-qt4-4.1.4-6.fc6/x86_64/build.log
That's not a new thing, nor is it a problem of gcc, but generally is a
real warning that the code is somewhat busted, but -fno-strict-aliasing
will avoid the problems that this optimization would otherwise trigger
in the dodgy code.
