Take a look at the fightwarn branch builds on Travis CI, logs of red ones with GNU C standards are stuff to fix :) Strict C seems like an unachievable goal, at least not quickly. The docs/developers.txt should now document how to use ci_build.sh locally for similar effect. Note that it is clang-9 (and newer I suppose) that complains sufficiently; gcc-10 is suspiciously quiet for example. The majority of remaining issues are simple mismatches of int sizes on different platforms and/or signedness, and often fixes to warnings introduced by earlier fixes, sometimes on older less capable compilers or OSes with different declarations :) One that I'd welcome help with is a const char * mismatch that starts at some 3 warnings now but opened a bigger can of worms when I tried to rectify it.
