I'm not going to do any such thing. I rather like the fact that gcc-4.0
has more warnings, despite it causing some work to make our code warning
free. Case in point: Better analysis of uninitialized variables found
two places in binutils where we really could use an uninitialized
variable in corner cases. It also warned about 4 or 5 other places that
were not real problems. That's a very good ratio. I'll take 100 false
positives if a compiler finds me one real error..
