Are you aware that gcc has a manual?  Have you read it?  There exist
already hundreds of various -W options to control individual warnings
and errors.  Examples:

<http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/Warning-Options.html>
<http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/C_002b_002b-Dialect-Options.html>

If a -W option does not currently exist to control the particular
diagnostic that you are encountering (which you failed to specify,
making this essentially a useless bug report) then you should report it
on the gcc bug tracker or mailing list, not here.  Gcc is a separate
project.
