I agree, but it actually prevents me to see other warnings
which get hidden between these.

Good idea, need to check how it goes with the order of imake processing.

Yes, my next step is to try compiling a whole tree with clang.
clang is partially compatible with GCC (so it will accept this option),
but we will need different set of options (for example clang
gets really annoying about without -Wno-parentheses).

I would probably propose to introduce GCC-specific and clang-specific
defaults (or leave it as is for the rest, like SUN Studio etc.).

This warning - please correct me if I am wrong - is more about
lost opportunity than bug. The compiler cannot apply aliasing
rules if the string were constant.
