Configuration flags to change details of warnings are generally a bad 
idea.

That only lists significant changes, not the thousands of minor 
improvements and bug fixes for which you can search Bugzilla.  If the 
person fixing a PR doesn't feel it's significant enough to mention in the 
release notes, it won't be listed there.

Your concern appears to be porting from 4.3 to 4.2, and that page is about 
porting in the other direction.  We don't write documentation for 
downgrading GCC.
