[libvirt] [PATCH] turn off strict-aliasing warnings in two files

Without these changes and with gcc-4.4,
I'd get 4 warnings (2 in each file)
about strict-aliasing violations.
-Wstrict-aliasing is worth keeping in general, so I
have disabled it only for the two offending files.

The #if avoids the pragma on versions of gcc that don't recognize it.
