Although, as you mentioned, we could work around this wrong-code GCC bug 
by using -fno-tree-sra (something we already do for GCC pre-SSE2 x86), 
we should avoid the tricky union locals that trigger the bug on x86-64 
with gcc -flto. After all, these union locals make the code harder for 
humans to read, so removing them is a win regardless of the GCC bug. And 
if removing the union locals happens to work around the GCC bug then so 
much the better.

Proposed patch attached.
