Aliasing problems give no messages, they just silently make bad code. I got
messages like this when compiling modules in 2.2.12 recently. To my discredit,
I simply commented out the offending code and deleted the resulting modules
(which weren't relevant for my system) instead of forming a bug report. But
2.2.12 doesn't fix the problem.
