If Autoconf (or packages using it) engages a high warning level by default
I don't think anybody's advocating that. It'd be an option. The typical
practice is for packages to have a build-time option like './configure
--enable-gcc-warnings' which some developers use but most builders do not.
I am definitely supportive of that sort of approach. If it is
implemented, then it should be in a consistent way.
Many free software developers are now using compilers other than GCC
on a daily basis (e.g clang) so it would be good if the approach is
not entirely GCC specific.
