I fully agree. Pedantic compiler warnings often helped me to track down weired 
issues. The more warnings enabled and the less warnings output, the more 
reliable the result. I always feel uncomfortable compiling code with lots of 
warnings, which seems to work anyway, though. IMHO, a close look at the source 
is often easier than an extensive gdb session.
