Well the idea is that all of the warnings would be fixed between all of the 
compilers.  i.e. the union of all warning flags would be fixed.  This may be 
unrealistic but then again I haven't heard of compilers removing perfectly 
good warnings so that really shouldn't be an issue.

The issue is when some poor soul tries to compile a package that worked with 
gcc X but they have gcc X+1 and so it breaks for no reason.
