That isn't all - you can turn it up some more. One of my small C

-ansi -Wall -pedantic -Wtraditional -Wpointer-arith -Wshadow
-Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wcast-qual
-Waggregate-return -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline
-Werror -W
This make gcc complain about practically everything looking even
remotely funny - only way to get more complaints would probably be to
use a real lint.
It can be annoying as hell, but I really find it helpful during
development.

That assumption started in the first versions of Unix on the PDP11, and
still occurrs in new code. It's part of what was once called the
"all the worlds a VAX" mentality.
Make sure you have all warnings turned on when you compile (look for
the CC definition), under gcc the option would be '-Wall'. Maybe it will
point at something obvious.
Also try:
gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic
Be prepared for *lots* of warnings.
