I interpret that on gcc to be "-Wall" or some variant.
-Wall generates too many false positives in practice. Perhaps some
variant would be better, but we'd have to see the details.
I doubt whether all developers will agree about this, so it'll be useful
to have an option that can be set in configure.ac. Packages whose
developers like the commonly-used './configure --enable-gcc-warnings'
approach could specify in configure.ac that warnings are off by
default. Packages whose developers like basic warnings (whatever they
are) enabled by default could do that too.
