Fine (though GCC could have something similar to -Werror but more
limited in scope to the really serious stuff that *should* be illegal
even if it isn't), but it should at least be a separate warning class.
My point was to counter Segher's assertion that the compiler currently
gives an error on the obvious stuff.
