FYI, I've successfully compiled GDB using the configury:

	--enable-build-warnings=\
-Werror\
,-Wreturn-type\
,-Wcomment\
,-Wtrigraphs\
,-Wparentheses\
,-Wpointer-arith\

Not much but it is at least a start. Last time I looked at it I was
actually stumbling across warnings in included header files found in the
readline directory  Since Elena has upgraded readline to 4.0 those
problems are hopefully fixed.
