Hi,

This also happens in libexo when compiling with debug. The problem is
a known bug in glib[1].

exo-mount-point.c: In function 'IA__exo_mount_point_list_matched':
exo-mount-point.c:561: error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will
break strict-aliasing rules
exo-mount-point.c:575: error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will
break strict-aliasing rules
