When working with upstream projects that don't use -Wall, adding it
can create a lot of noise and make it hard to notice important
warnings.  So I'm not convinced it's a good idea.  A few well selected
warnings such as -Wimplicit-declaration could be more useful

By the way, do you think tweaking policy to discourage -Werror (except
in cases of circular build-deps where mistakes are hard to recover
from, like binutils) would be feasible?
