Hi, thanks for the patch, I personally support it (assuming it goes along with a regeneration of the configure scripts). Reading it, though, reminded me of another quibble I had about warning options used when building GCC: The GCC docs for -Wextra say "(This option used to be called -W. The older name is still supported, but the newer name is more descriptive.)" See: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html#Warning-Options This to me seems to imply that -Wextra is the preferred name, and that the old name of -W should be replaced by it. Could we also make a change to rename all instances of -W in configure scripts to -Wextra too? Just a thought.
