This has been around since the introduction of autotools. However at this point I'm not sure we'd ever want to suppress all warnings when performing a build, and given that CXX FLAGS will have been overriden when cross-compiling for Windows (using depends), this would rarely, if-ever be used anyways.
From https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html:
-w
Inhibit all warning messages.
