Andrew,
I guess we can add to build system something like
ALT_COMPILER_FLAGS
and turn on all warnings and -Werror by default.
Having zero-warning build is good practice and it's not too costly.
It'd drive you mad. gcc's -Wall is really not suitable to be enabled
by default; it was never intended for that.
OK.
But in this case we have no reliable way to deal with "semi-crazy
distros" as all our attempts to disable all but some important warnings
could be blocked by theirs patches.
