We use -fwrapv on the gcc command line:

'-fwrapv'
     This option instructs the compiler to assume that signed arithmetic
     overflow of addition, subtraction and multiplication wraps around
     using twos-complement representation.  This flag enables some
     optimizations and disables others.

I'll see about adding this to xfstests ...
