I assume "current" means the flags that are present in both cases?

The difference for -Wshadow=compatible-local is due to changes between 15 and
HEAD.
We're indeed not adding -Wall right now (the warning level is handled by
meson, so it doesn't show up in our cflags right now).

I don't think that's feasible. It was a fair bit of work to get the most
important contents to match, while skipping lots of things that are primarily
relevant for building the server (which isn't relevant for pgxs).
That said, in this specific case, I agree, we should likely emit -Wall to
Makefile.global in meson as well.
