I'd recommend attacking this one flag at a time - so for instance, do up a series of patches that cleans up the -Wno-unused warnings, and get that merged. Then get a series for -Wno-sign-compare, and finally a patch that adds -W. While you're at it, look at these flags as well: -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -Wcomment -Wendif-labels -Wshadow (The tree is pretty clean for the first 3, cleaning it for the last will take some work...)
