Subject: Re: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules in DES_bs_b.c (linux-arm32le-neon)
Hi Frank,
These are known issues, discussed in here before.

This is a gcc bug:

These are JtR bugs that I haven't gotten around to dealing with yet.
As you say, JtR works fine despite of them so far, and due to our
runtime self-test a user would know whenever this breaks. In a
discussion thread with Lei, we determined that these typecasts appear to
be fine on x86, but not necessarily so on other archs for which we use
SIMD intrinsics as well.

Please update it with the above detail.
Thanks,
