Update to this

I just tried compiling from CVS using the jhbuild scripts. There are a *ton* 
of these errors. Basically, every time you do

(foo *) &bar

an error about type-punning is generated. Adding a temp variable like

gpointer *ptr_to_bar = &bar;

and replacing the first use with (foo *) ptr_to_bar, and the error goes away.

Most of these are bypassed when compiling garnome. In jhbuild I didn't get 
past gnome-vfs, there were so many of these errors.

I didn't think that was what type-punning was all about. I understood it to be 
when you had two variables occupying the same memory space in a union. Is 
this a bug in the compiler?
