Oh dear.  Hate to break it to you, but I did the same thing, only to
discover that those aren't the options that are relevant.  The real ones
that it compiles with are:

-Wall
-Wbad-function-cast
-Wcast-qual
-Werror
-Wmissing-declarations
-Wmissing-prototypes
-Wpointer-arith
-Wshadow
-Wstrict-prototypes
-Wtraditional
-Wwrite-strings

-Wtraditional is a particular annoyance, since it seems there's some
difference in the type of a numeric constant between K&R and ANSI C.  I
don't know the details, but I suspect it will mean adding `U's to a lot
of numbers.

Btw, this doesn't *have* to be done; there's a perfectly good way, via
the Makefile, to just make GCC shut up.
