You also need -pedantic to generate all of the diagnostics required

OK.
Using -ansi/-std without adding the feature macros can result in
code
compiling and linking successfully but failing at run-time due to
missing prototypes (and thus missing implicit type conversions).
OK, so maybe it's too dangerous for "make beta".
I suspect that -ansi/-std= may not be viable on Windows; the Win32
headers tend to take MSVC extensions for granted.
OK, but this isn't really about building a working XEmacs, it's about
generating diagnostics that will be helpful to conscientious
developers like Jeff. :-) For example, we could add a --pedantic flag
to configure, and ask committers to build with that before pushing.
Or maybe just me, before releasing. ;-)
