Yes, it does, but that's not what this is about.  Strict aliasing is
about doing things like float f; int i = *(int*)&f; which is not
allowed by the C standard, and will sometimes result in incorrect
code.  GCC will issue a warning whenever there's a risk of this
happening.

It should be noted that the STi7109 is a Super-H, not SH-4.  The
architectures are similar in concept, but there are significant
differences.
