I made sure the driver builds for me with -Wall a while ago, and have
been building with -Wall -Werror since. I'm not sure I like the idea of
enabling even more warnings, especially as apparently none of them have
pointed out a real bug?

Are you referring to arithmetic on void* pointers? That's a gccism, so
if we have that we may want to fix it.
