The *idea* was, to make everything compile without warnings with
-pedantic, just as we did when we introduced -Wall -W. This would
help to prevent people sending code with // comments, unnecessary
commas at the end of enums etc. Unfortunately, some

Ah, yes. I managed to get rid of almost all warnings by doing two
things:
1) use the __extension__ keyword to get rid of the ...braced...
warning as per Oliviers suggestion
2) in glib-confg and gtk-config *add* "-isystem <path>" for every
"-I<path>": This tells gcc to treat these includes as system
includes and thus does not generate warnings caused by stuff
imported from glib/gtk
So, while this is strictly speaking a glib/gtk "bug" it generates
so many warnings as to negate the intended effect by generating
too many warnings so that most developers simply don't care to look
at warnings at all :-(
I'll revert the patch. For those compiling with extra-checks I
recommend the two steps mentioned above. For myself, I'm using a
small, script that generates warning files for each type of warning.
As input, it takes the result of "make all 2>&1 | tee ../logs/make.log"
I've attached it below. (yeah, I know it's ugly, but it does what I
want and I'm not willing to spend time on it :-)

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
