No, they'll almost surely be rejected. What would be nice is a
proposal for getting the warnings we want, and only the ones we want,
by default on clang. Right now configure is well-tuned to do that for
gcc but not for clang.

I think what we need is probably first some way to detect if -w is
needed to turn off unwanted defaults (it's unsafe to use with gcc
because it overrides even -W's that come _after_ it), then using -w,
omitting -Wall, and manually building up the interesting warnings.
