You have many unnecessary pointer casts, which is a red flag; if
there are problems in such code and with -fno-strict-aliasing they
disappear, you have probably found the problem.

I don't see an aliasing problem either, but I also do not see there
is no such problem; for example, the pointer subtractions probably work
for you, but they are non-standard; much cleaner would be e.g. something
with uintptr_t.
