Ah yes, the position of the GNU toolchain developers whose code isn't
even near warns clean...
As someone with a source base that is (well was until GCC 3.3) warns
clean I can tell you adding things willy nilly to -Wall is a problem. If
GCC and Binutils were -Wall -Werror clean, maybe the GCC developers
thinking this thread isn't an issue would have a different opinion.
