I believe so.

Many of gcc's warnings give false positives. Some warnings are for
problems that are common and harmless in most sources.
The biggest downside to lots of false positives is that the warning
probably won't be all that useful to include in -Wall and thus won't
get used as often as it might if it was implied by -Wall.

First, have you reviewed the egcs web page on contributing to the
project?

If you've got specific questions after reading that page and some
of the pages it links to let us know.
