Ok, sure. This option is also used by many developers to see all possible 
problems in their code. And btw, signed/unsigned isn't a minor problem. 
Majority of code giving such warning is exploitable (in the black-hackish 
terms). 
I am developer myself, but just using gcc, hence my user's opinion.

Thank you.
