Comment(by datallah):

 I was able to find some information about why `-fwrapv` and `-fno-strict-
 overflow` are suggested here. http://www.airs.com/blog/archives/120 and
 http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2011-07/msg00227.html are interesting.

 It's odd that`-fno-strict-overflow` isn't listed in
 [http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Option-Summary.html#Option-Summary the
 gcc documentation], but it is mentioned in the description of `-fstrict-
 overflow` in the [http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html
 #Optimize-Options optimization options page].  I guess that's just an
 oversight.

 For reference (partially so I can find it easily) #13879 is the
 corresponding ticket to this one that applies to the autoconfiscated
 build.
