No, function pointers (all pointers) are 64 bits.

The compiler complained about dereferencing the cast pointer would break
strict aliasing rules, something that GCC 4.x is very aware of (and
previous versions were not). I don't completely understand why it cares
(I've never spent the time to look into it), but it seemed simpler to
just work around it.
