For libsndfile the configure script chack to see if the compiler
is GCC and if it is turns on the following:
-W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes
-Waggregate-return -Wcast-align -Wcast-qual -Wnested-externs
-Wshadow -Wbad-function-cast -Wwrite-strings
When I'm developing, I also add -Werror.
In the near future, I will probably also add -Wswitch, -Wfloat-equal,
and -Winline.

Unfortunately what is included in -Wall changes over time and I can
never keep up with what it means.
The other thing is that -W is a good addition to -Wall. See the gcc
man page for the extra checks this adds.
