Can I force `ld' to treat some special warnings as erros?

Hi PRC,

warnings as warnings?

Sorry no.  You can force all warnings to be treated as errors with the 
--fatal-warnings command line switch, but I suspect that this is not 
what you want.

You could try writing a script (or makefile rule) that greps through the 
linker's output after the link is completed and generates some kind of 
error result if one of the undesired warning messages is detected.

Cheers
