perhaps it can be enabled automatically for "known good" GCC versions,
e.g., on MacOSX; this should only be done for a specific compiler version
after successfully building everything with explicit --enable-werror of
course.

for problematic GCC versions that emit spurious warnings it shouldn't be
enabled by default (perhaps use of such GCC versions should be discouraged?).
