In the context of the recent discussion, it occurred to me that this semantic
would be useful, but currently there is no easy way to access it. Bikeshedding
welcome; the use of this flag is a bit odd, but it has the advantage of being
accepted without error going back at least to 4.3.

Currently there is no flag to use to upgrade all currently-enabled pedwarns
from warning to error. -pedantic-errors also enables the -Wpedantic
pedwarns, while -Werror=pedantic uselessly makes only the -Wpedantic
pedwarns errors.
I suggest that since -fpermissive lowers some diagnostics from error to
warning, -fno-permissive could do the reverse.
gcc/ChangeLog:
* doc/invoke.texi: Document -fno-permissive.
gcc/c-family/ChangeLog:
* c.opt (fpermissive): Accept in C and ObjC as well.
* c-opts.cc (c_common_post_options): -fno-permissive sets
global_dc->pedantic_errors.

Downgrade some diagnostics about nonconformant code from errors to
warnings. Thus, using @option{-fpermissive} allows some
nonconforming code to compile.
