Try configuring with

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

The directories where people are trying to flush warnings recognize this
configure option (GDB, BFD, ...).  The -Werror is to make certain
nothing is missed :-)

I had most targets building with -Wuninitialized but with the recent K&R
to ISO things have taken a hit.  I'd suggest trying just -Werror for
your target and then build up to something stronger.
