As Jonathan says above, -Wall and -Werror should be enabled for non-debug builds as well. Although current packages in most distros are currently exempt from conforming to some standards, it wouldn't surprise me at all if these standards were made retroactive to existing packages at some point. Just changing our name from Gnomesword to Xiphos caused us to undergo more strict rules for Fedora, as Karl has mentioned.
gcc/g++ has gotten quite a bit more strict by default with 4.4. In general, the trend in g++ and in the distros is to be more strict. Delaying changes now because they seem unreasonable only seems to be delaying the inevitable. Although there haven't been any problems in this regard that I know of, I know that other compilers are often more strict than gcc is. I found this out when attempting to compile Xiphos with Visual Studio....
