I doubt (*(struct Lisp_Vector **)((char *) v + header_size))
is any better.  I guess it just defeats gcc's detection of the problem.
Maybe someone like Paul might have an idea how to solve this "cleanly"?
In the mean time, feel free to use your code, but please add my code in
comment with a note about why we don't use it.
