This prevents compiler optimizations that assume overflow won't occur, which
breaks numerous overflow tests that we need to have working.  It is known
that gcc 4.3 causes problems and possible that 4.1 does.  Per my proposal
of some time ago and a recent report from Kris Jurka.

Backpatch as far as 8.0, which is as far as the patch conveniently goes.
7.x was pretty short of overflow tests anyway, so it may not matter there,
even assuming that anyone cares whether 7.x builds on recent gcc.
