Define "doing fine", does it pass all tests?

Hi All,

Just asking if the `-fno-strict-aliasing` flag is still required for gcc. Supposedly `-fstrict-aliasing` is enabled by default with optimization levels >= `-O2` and that used to result in errors. However, I have noticed that numpy wheels are being built without the `-fno-strict-aliasing` flag and doing fine. Same on my local machine. So maybe the compiler has gotten better at knowing when pointers may be aliased? I cannot find informative documentation on how `-fstrict-aliasing` is actually implemented, so thought I'd ask here if someone knows more about it.
