Presumably CMake then reports something such as

        -- Checking for flag: -Wshorten-64-to-32
        -- Performing Test WS_C_FLAG_VALID44
        -- Performing Test WS_C_FLAG_VALID44 - Failed

in that case, meaning it thinks -Wshorten-64-to-32 isn't supported by the C compiler?

Presumably CMake then reports something such as

        -- Checking for flag: -Wshorten-64-to-32
        -- Performing Test WS_C_FLAG_VALID44
        -- Performing Test WS_C_FLAG_VALID44 - Success

in that case, meaning it thinks -Wshorten-64-to-32 *is* supported by the C compiler?

Which version of which compiler is this?  (You said "Fedora", so I presume it's either GCC or Clang; which version of 
Fedora is it?)
