Does it really?  It's completely warning-free on Windows, and that's
the intent, and it takes ongoing work to keep it that way.  Over at,
e.g.,

    http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/g5%20osx.3%20trunk/builds/46/step-compile/0

I only see one gcc warning, coming from Python/Python-ast.c.  I
suppose that isn't a complete build, though.
