In general, I agree and most of these are pretty
trivial to remove. It'd just take some time to
remove most of the missing-prototypes and
unused-but-set warnings before being able to
enable the warnings at the default W=0.

It doesn't though.
At least not so far as I can tell.
gcc-9.1 produces the same output.

$ grep -i -P -oh '\[\-W[\w\-]+\]' make_gcc9.log | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
163 [-Wmissing-prototypes]
69 [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
16 [-Wempty-body]
10 [-Wtype-limits]
6 [-Woverride-init]
2 [-Wstringop-truncation]
2 [-Wcast-function-type]
1 [-Wunused-but-set-parameter]
