well i've turned on the full set of warnings (copied from gdb in days
past) for all sim ports now :).  when possible, i've turned on -Werror,
but you're right that all the cgen ports need a lot of love ...

i see gdb has split their warning code out into gdbsupport/.  i wonder
if we can reuse that, or maybe just sync the updated set of warnings.
