Nice question. In fact, one of them warns *by default*, another only if
explicitly requested of  "strict ANSI conformance".

My personal opinion is that such a warning should be definitely available,

Huh??
You have just to go to

    http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl

In my opinion, you should file under "change-request".
