[kvm-unit-tests PATCH] Makefile: Compile the kvm-unit-tests with -fno-strict-aliasing

[Thomas Huth]

Strict aliasing bugs are often hard to find and understand (when the compiler
did not omit a warning), and kvm-unit-tests are mainly written by kernel
developers who are used to compile their code with -fno-strict-aliasing. So
let's use this flag for the kvm-unit-tests, too.
