To be clear, FRT: I don't think it really matters which version
a "positive" -W warning switch went in (-Wno-* switches matter,
because otherwise we wouldn't be silencing a build breaking
warning on older gcc's we may care about). Even if a switch is
found only on more recent gcc's, if it uncovers bugs, it's
useful. People using older gcc's just don't get the new
warnings, as gdb's build system takes care of confirming the
switch works at all before using it.
