dnl Check if the compiler supports useful warning options.  There's a few that
dnl we don't use, simply because they're too noisy:
dnl
dnl -ansi (prevents declaration of functions like strdup, and because
dnl        it makes warning in system headers).
dnl -Wconversion (useful in older versions of gcc, but not in gcc 2.7.x)
dnl -Wtraditional (combines too many unrelated messages, only a few useful)
dnl -Wredundant-decls (system headers make this too noisy)
dnl -pedantic
dnl -Wunreachable-code (broken, see GCC PR/7827)
dnl -Wredundant-decls (too many warnings in GLIBC's header with old GCC)
dnl
dnl A few other options have been left out because they are annoying in C++.
