Maybe a couple hundred or so, but most of the warnings are derived
from a few globals with common names -- I would guess it won't be too
much trouble to fix...

No idea -- I'm content to jump that bridge (e.g. by removing -Wshadow
if necessary) when we come to it.
Ok, I'll work on this and submit a patch to -patches when I'm
done. I'll leave the work on the other warning flags you mentioned for
someone else.
