If the latter, you can get much of the effect temporarily by building
with '_WRAP_EXTRA_ARGS.CC=-Wall -Werror' or whatever -W flags you
want.

Just be aware that this applies to both the configure and build
stages, and it makes a lot of autoconf scripts fail miserably.

Why anyone thought doing flagrantly illegal things in autoconf tests
was a good idea, I'll never understand.
