Yes, ideally.

-Werror=partial-availability is probably safe to add by default (if the
compiler supports it), since it matches how configure checks are used - if
a function is available and can be linked, we're free to use it.

But then we also need to make sure the user sets a sensible
-mmacosx-version-min or -miphoneos-version-min, which hasn't been quite
necessary so far. Or do OSX users generally set those whenever building
things? Should configure warn if they aren't set - or set a sensible
default low version if it isn't? Given the number of current and legacy
systems that one can build it for, picking a sensible default is a bit
tricky.
