Both.

We try to achieve warning-free compilation on glibc systems with the newest
gcc. For other platforms or configurations, some warnings may occur.

When warnings get reported, we try harder to fix them if they occur
in your application's compilation units (i.e. caused by Gnulib .h files).

But we cannot make a guarantee, because some compiler warning options
merely represent coding style choices, and some of these coding style
choices contradict each other.
