There's a Cmake switch named
--- BRLCAD_ENABLE_STRICT ---

Causes all compilation warnings for C code to be treated as errors.  This is
now
the default for BRL-CAD source code, and developers should address issues
discovered by these flags whenever possible rather than disabling strict
mode.

Aliases:  ENABLE_STRICT, ENABLE_STRICT_COMPILE, ENABLE_STRICT_COMPILE_FLAGS

but  cmake is invoked with
-DBRLCAD_ENABLE_STRICT=OFF

so at least some checking is relaxed already. Tinkering with the makefiles
manually is exceedingly unlikely to work without detailed guidance from the
experts. I'm not even an amateur.....
