   So why haven't the GNU people given us "glint"?  Or can we get hold of
   an ANSI-knowledgeable lint right away?  Any leads would be appreciated.

They're mostly volenteers, you know!  You could write one.
But GCC and G++ by themselves are pretty good; with -Wall I doubt you
need a special lint.  Though they'd have to be modified to understand
/*NOTREACHED*/ and such...
