[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] [PATCH FOR REVIEW] Building ExtensionSubtables.cpp should use -fno-strict-aliasing

[Phil Race]

I have one concern

It sounds like the option is new in gcc 4.4 : 
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/porting_to.html

I am not sure you can assume that since ..

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html#gcc
" The GNU gcc compiler version should be 4.3 or newer."

And I suggest a push to 2d-dev since its in the 2d code we get
a warning and the "build" change is in 2D build files, specifically to work
around that warning .. its really precious little to do with the build 
system.
