A good first step would be to flip the switch from -Wno-narrowing to -Wnarrowing in the warning flags GCC uses when building, as C++11 has stricter rules about narrowing conversions. This would be useful even if we don't end up going to C++11 yet, as such narrowing conversions are bad even in versions of the standard where they're allowed.
