[ILUG] [OT] gcc option: accept void main?

[Cormac McClean]

Hi,

I need to compile a series of short, standalone C programs.  Most (if not
all) have been created as void main().  gcc complains about this:

final.cpp: In function `int main(...)':
final.cpp:98: `return' with no value, in function returning non-void
final.cpp:108: `return' with no value, in function returning non-void
final.cpp:115: `return' with no value, in function returning non-void
final.cpp:207: `return' with no value, in function returning non-void

well, actually it's complaining about the returns within what it says is
int main, even though the programs are specifically created as void
main. Is it possible to tell gcc to accept void main, i.e. the opposite of the
option -Wmain?
-Wmain 
     Warn if the type of `main' is suspicious. `main' should be a function with
    external linkage, returning int, taking either zero arguments, two, or three
    arguments of appropriate types. 

I have about 50 of these programs to check, otherwise I would manually
change all programs to int main and returns within main to return 0.

Thanks in advance,
Cormac.
