Add an extra compiler flag to CFLAGS, rebuild the package and see it
for yourself. Like:

  CFLAGS=-W -Wformat -O2 -Wall
  ...
       ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man
       $(MAKE) CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)"

will yield:

  /usr/bin/make CFLAGS="-W -Wformat -O2 -Wall"
  make[1]: Entering directory `.../knockd-0.2.1-1/knockd-0.2.1'
  gcc -g -O2 -g -Wall -pedantic -fno-exceptions -D_GNU_SOURCE -I.
    -o src/knockd.o -c src/knockd.c

where as:

  CFLAGS=-W -Wformat -O2 -Wall
  ...
       ./configure CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)" \
       	        --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man
       $(MAKE)

will:

  /usr/bin/make
  make[1]: Entering directory `.../knockd-0.2.1-1/knockd-0.2.1'
  gcc -W -Wformat -O2 -Wall -g -Wall -pedantic -fno-exceptions
    -D_GNU_SOURCE -I. -o src/knockd.o -c src/knockd.c
