Add the Asterisk development community's voice to that bandwagon as
well; we have had many cases where developers compiling Asterisk on
different platforms saw warnings that others did not see, and even
though we have -Werror turned on and a buildbot system to check for
errors and warnings, it does not catch everything because we rely on
-Wall and -Wextra to be 'enough'. Given this discussion, we'll have to
modify our build system to supply explicit -W flags for all the warnings
we care about in 'addition' to -Wall, just in case they get removed from
-Wall in a future GCC release.
