If you are unsure, I can check.

Most of the flags we use are for flagging dubious or erroneous code,
they should not matter, I think.  What compiler flags must be set for
Flycheck to work reasonably well with a program's sources?  I guess
the -I flags, but what else?  (I have never used Flymake, so my
questions are ones of a layman in this matter.)
