I'm not terribly for that. For the most part, if a gcc warning isn't
included by '-Wall', there's a reason for it. We could talk about
whether individual extra warnings are useful for the Postgres project,
but I don't want to suddenly move the goalposts to where we are
enforcing a bunch of pedantic warnings that different compiler versions
might not even interpret the same. I'm particularly not for turning
them up in the way you suggest here, where violations would result in
buildfarm failures on machines running with -Werror.

Right now I'd rather focus on getting to where we can have -Werror on in
the buildfarm at all. longfin says we've got work to do on that, at least
in the back branches. It may be that we can't expect near-EOL branches to
always compile perfectly cleanly on newer compilers.
