Yes, that is something I'd like to obtain too, but unfortunately, it's almost
impossible to do:
- There are many platforms involved. Some of the system include files generate
warnings (e.g. gtkitemfactory.h:50: warning: function declaration isn’t a
prototype) which is something we can't fix right now. Some warnings are just
gcc mistakes (might be used uninitialized), so "fixing" those warnings would be
just plain wrong. Another problem is that not all developers use gcc: Some use
some windows build env without gcc (MSVC?) which does not warn on everything
that gcc warns about - well, even gcc differs from agcc with a different
version. So -Werror is not really an option.

Don't get me wrong: I've been working on fixing compile time warnings for quite
a long time and just gave up about a year ago because the rate at which new
warnings were added was too high.
