Use the flags "-Wall -W -Wno-long-long -Wno-deprecated" to turn on most of
the warnings.  Unfortunately, GCC 2.96 does not implement the full warning
set produced by version 3.2.  You could also consider installing gcc 3.2.
It is actually pretty easy to install in your home directory if you don't
have root access.  Email me privately if you want help exploring this
option.
