warnings issued with additional build flags

[vagrantc]

Using gcc 6.3.0-18, and xypron's autotools branch, I get the following warnings using Debian's standard build flags and hardening flags:

Without the autotools branch, the warnings are hidden because CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS are hard-coded.

Correction: It is quite possible to override CFLAGS and LDFLAGS today. I am doing so for my package: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/hardware/meson-tools/meson-tools.spec?expand=1

If you have individual fixes for the warnings you are seeing, I'd appreciate pull requests with signed off commits (your willingness to relicense for your issue #5 implied). Please do not mangle with Herinrich's proposal, there is no version 0.2 of meson-tools, so I will not merge it as is. Please also do not spread such naming via your Debian packages.

Apologies, I'm not likely to come up with fixes for those issues; I do get the impression they are actual bugs.

Regarding overriding CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, ok, I guess you can override them, though it would be nicer to not have to. Is CPPFLAGS also respected in this case? other *FLAGS?

I didn't realize that the autotools proposal included inappropriate things like reversioning... perhaps comment on the pull request about that?
