> The {{Makefile.am}} distributed with the C client defines some per-target {{\*_CFLAGS}} and {{\*_CXXFLAGS}} variables.  These however, do not reference {{AM_CFLAGS}} (resp. AM_CXXFLAGS}}, which means that some options (notably {{-Wall}}) are missing when building subsets of the code.
> Dixit the [Automake docs|https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Program-and-Library-Variables.html]:
> {quote}
> In compilations with per-target flags, the ordinary ‘AM_’ form of
> the flags variable is _not_ automatically included in the
> compilation (however, the user form of the variable _is_ included).
> So for instance, if you want the hypothetical ‘maude’ compilations
> to also use the value of ‘AM_CFLAGS’, you would need to write:
>      maude_CFLAGS = ... your flags ... $(AM_CFLAGS)
> {quote}
> Restoring the flags, however, causes compilation failures (in the library) and a slew of new warnings (in the tests) which had not been noticed because of the missing options.  These errors/warnings have to be fixed before the flags can be tightened up.
> (I have a preliminary patch, and am planning to submit a "pull request" soon.)
