The changing meanings of compiler flags are a personal pet-peeve, as it leads to strange situations where you have to add both "-Wall" AND "-Wextra".

Still in programs that I expect to be used on wildly different systems I tend to enable all the flags that are common in the development-builds, and be more conservative in the production/deployed version.
