Since GCC 3.4 (of April 2004 [1]), the more descriptive -Wextra has been accepted in lieu of -W [2]. I suggest that versions of GCC <= 3.3 (from 2003 and before) are not useful in the context of QBS, and that the GenericGCC module should therefore use the -Wextra flag (also accepted by clang [3]) for clarity.
