Comment (by ryandesign):

 gcc-4.2 is the default compiler on Leopard. Individual ports can specify
 which compilers are not acceptable; MacPorts then picks another compiler
 to compile that port. The weechat port does not prohibit any compilers, so
 it will use gcc-4.2 on your system. One of weechat's dependencies, gnutls,
 depends on another port nettle, which does prohibit the use of gcc 4.x,
 therefore MacPorts picked another compiler (gcc7) to compile nettle.

 If you verify that weechat compiles fine with gcc-4.2 after removing those
 warning flags, then we can add a patch that does that on old gcc versions.
 On the other hand, if it still can't build and it seems that gcc-4.2 is
 too old to build it after all, then we can prohibit the use of gcc-4.2 for
 weechat so that it will pick a different compiler.
