Hi, gcc handling of -Wno-xxxx flags is different from its handling of -Wxxxx flags as described in http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.1/gcc/Warning-Options.html#Warning-Options :
"When an unrecognized warning option is requested (e.g., -Wunknown-warning), GCC emits a diagnostic stating that the option is not recognized. However, if the -Wno- form is used, the behavior is slightly different: no diagnostic is produced for -Wno-unknown-warning unless other diagnostics are being produced." This means that with gcc, gl_WARN_ADD([-Wno-unknown-warning]) will always succeed, leading to issues like http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-April/msg00000.html I guess that when gl_WARN_ADD is used with -Wno-unknown-warning, it should test as well the corresponding -Wunknown-warning flag, though I don't know how well this will work with non-gcc compilers.
