Yeah, gcc 7 is already standard on debian unstable, so...

...this probably needs to be "greater than or equal to".

Unfortunately I think that's hard to do in pure make. But we're already relying on $(shell) here, so we could just move the logic there.

Something like the patch below, perhaps. It should do the right thing on clang and gcc, and I added in an extra clang-only warning I've found useful. Otherwise the list of flags comes from your patch.

The "clang4" limit is just what I happened to have on my system to test with. Some of those flags might work for clang3, and some of the gcc6-only flags might work on newer versions of clang.

I was puzzled by -Wno-maybe-uninitialized, though. I think that has found bugs for us before (but also false positives, but we usually squelch those in the code). And it's part of -Wall, not -Wextra, so we shouldn't need it as part of this patch, should we?
