Yes, it's normal, and yes it's not ideal, but fixing
it is non-trivial.

I looked into doing that once, but it's not easy.
Distutils doesn't provide the -Wall itself, it just
uses whatever compiler options your Python installation
is set up to use by default. The internals of Distutils
are sufficiently convoluted that I gave up trying to
find a way of overriding it.

Instead I hacked the Makefile of my Python installation
to remove the -Wall.

Someone with a better knowledge of Distutils internals
is welcome to have another go at this.
