Except that latest versions of GCC by default enable more and more
warnings that previously belonged to -Wall. Warnings such as these
for example:
regex.c: In function `re_search_2':
regex.c:4231: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of
data type
This warning is a terrible nuisance in a complex macro, for example.

Agreed.
