With gcc 4.3.4 I'm seeing the following warning failure

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
cc1: error: -funit-at-a-time is required for inlining of functions
that are only called once [-Wdisabled-optimization]

Add -funit-at-a-time to WARN_CFLAGS.

The GCC Win32 compiler will claim to support -fstack-protector,
but if it actually gets triggered by a suitable code pattern,
linking will fail. Other non-Linux OS likely suffer the same
way with gcc.

* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4: Only use stack protector when
  the build target is Linux.

A couple of functions were declared using the old style foo()
for no-parameters, instead of foo(void)

* src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c, tests/testutils.c: Replace () with (void)
  in some function declarations
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4: Enable -Wold-style-definition

* src/internal.h: Define a ATTRIBUTE_NO_RETURN annotation
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Annotate lxcContainerDummyChild
  with ATTRIBUTE_NO_RETURN
* tests/eventtest.c: Mark async thread as ATTRIBUTE_NO_RETURN
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4: Enable -Wmissing-noreturn

Add a couple of missing ATTRIBUTE_FMT_PRINTF annotations

* tools/virsh.c, tests/testutils.c: Add printf format attribute
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4: Enable -Wmissing-format-attribute

Split the bit acinclude.m4 file into smaller pieces named
as m4/virt-XXXXX.m4

* .gitignore: Ignore gettext related files
* acinclude.m4: Delete
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4: Checks for GCC compiler flags
* m4/virt-pkgconfig-back-compat.m4: Backcompat check for
  pkgconfig program

Remove custom code for checking compiler warnings, using
gl_WARN_ADD instead. Don't list all flags ourselves, use
gnulib's gl_MANYWARN_ALL_GCC to get all possible GCC flags,
then turn off the ones we don't want yet.

* acinclude.m4: Rewrite to use gl_WARN_ADD and gl_MANYWARN_ALL_GCC
* bootstrap.conf: Add warnings & manywarnings
* configure.ac: Switch to gl_WARN_ADD
* m4/compiler-flags.m4: Obsoleted by gl_WARN_ADD

Allows bootstrap to work on FreeBSD, where gzip doesn't have a '.'
in its version; and silences false positives in the new
'make syntax-check' rule.

* .gnulib: Update to latest.
* bootstrap: Synchronize to upstream.
* .x-sc_bindtextdomain: New exemptions.
* Makefile.am (syntax_check_exceptions): Ship new file.
* .gitignore: Regenerate per latest bootstrap, anchor entries that
are only in the root directory, and consolidate entries from other
generated .gitignore files.
* build-aux/.gitignore, m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore: Remove from
version control, since bootstrap generates them.

'./autobuild.sh' with lcov installed discovered that our
coverage support has been bit-rotting for a while.  This
restores it back to a successful state, although I have
not yet spent any time looking through the resulting files to
look for low-hanging fruit in the unit test coverage front.

* configure.ac: Clear COMPILER_FLAGS at right place.
* Makefile.am (cov): Newer genhtml no longer likes plain -s.
* m4/compiler-flags.m4 (gl_COMPILER_FLAGS): Don't AC_SUBST
COMPILER_FLAGS; it is a shell variable for use in configure only.
* src/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS, AM_LDFLAGS): New variables, to make
it easier to provide global flag additions.  Use throughout, to
uniformly apply coverage flags.
* .gitignore: Globally ignore gcov output.
* daemon/.gitignore: Simplify.
* src/.gitignore: Likewise.
* tests/.gitignore: Likewise.

* configure.ac: Use "test cond1 || test cond2" instead.
* m4/compiler-flags.m4 (gl_COMPILER_FLAGS): Likewise.
* tests/test-lib.sh (verbose): Likewise.

* .hgignore: Regenerate.
* m4/.gitignore: Regenerate.

* .cvsignore: Don't ignore *.orig or *.rej.  They're not build products.
Don't ignore the entire m4 directory.
* Makefile.maint (sync-vcs-ignore-files): Correct quoting.
Use sed rather than a for loop.
Search only version-controled files (for reproducibility)
* gnulib/lib/netinet/.cvsignore: Append missing newline-at-EOF,
so that the use of sed doesn't mistakenly concatenate lines.
* gnulib/lib/sys/.cvsignore: Likewise.
* m4/.cvsignore: Ignore acinclude.m4 and aclocal.m4, not *.m4.
* .hgignore: Regenerate.
* all .gitignore files: Regenerate.

New files go into these directories:
  gnulib/lib
  gnulib/m4
  gnulib/tests

* bootstrap: A wrapper around gnulib-tool.
* configure.in: Invoke gl_EARLY and gl_INIT, being careful to put gl_EARLY
before any macro that uses AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
(AC_OUTPUT): Add lib/Makefile and gl-tests/Makefile.  Remove m4/Makefile.
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add gnulib/lib and remove m4.  Add gnulib/tests
early enough that those tests run before any libvirt unit tests.
* m4/Makefile.am: Remove file.  Not needed.
* src/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add -I$(top_srcdir)/gnulib/lib -I../gnulib/lib.
(LDADDS, libvirt_la_LIBADD): Add ../gnulib/lib/libgnu.la.
* src/nodeinfo.c: Include "physmem.h".
* qemud/qemud.c, src/remote_internal.c: Include "getaddrinfo.h".
(MEMINFO_PATH, linuxNodeInfoMemPopulate): Remove definitions.
(virNodeInfoPopulate): Use physmem_total, not linuxNodeInfoMemPopulate.
* tests/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add -I$(top_srcdir)/gnulib/lib -I../gnulib/lib.
(LDADDS): Add ../gnulib/lib/libgnu.la.
* qemud/Makefile.am (libvirtd_LDADD): Add ../gnulib/lib/libgnu.la.
* tests/nodeinfotest.c (linuxTestCompareFiles): No longer read total
memory from a file.
Update expected output not to include "Memory: NNNN"
* tests/nodeinfodata/linux-nodeinfo-1.txt:
* tests/nodeinfodata/linux-nodeinfo-2.txt:
* tests/nodeinfodata/linux-nodeinfo-3.txt:
* tests/nodeinfodata/linux-nodeinfo-4.txt:
* tests/nodeinfodata/linux-nodeinfo-5.txt:
* tests/nodeinfodata/linux-nodeinfo-6.txt:
* src/test.c [WITH_TEST]: Remove definition of _GNU_SOURCE that
would conflict with the one now in "config.h".
* autogen.sh: Add -I gnulib/m4.
* src/conf.c, src/sexpr.c: Don't define _GNU_SOURCE.
Instead, include "config.h".
* qemud/qemud.c: Remove definition of _GNU_SOURCE.
* src/openvz_driver.c: Likewise.
* src/qemu_driver.c: Likewise.
* src/remote_internal.c: Likewise.

* configure.in: Use AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(build-aux), so that a bunch
of gettextize-generated files go into build-aux/, rather than in
the top-level directory.
* .cvsignore: Adjust.
* build-aux/.cvsignore: New file.
