I agreed to implement -Wall on the explicit understanding that we would NOT adopt the goal to change our code so that -Wall would not warn. If there is a specific kind of warning that would be useful here, there is probably an -f option to enable that specific kind of warning. That might be a good thing to use for Emacs.
