If you're using clang instead of gcc, most of your complaints go away.
:P Error messages are better, compile times are better. I don't know
about executable size -- my commercial apps all have embedded
resources that overwhelm the actual code size an I don't usually have
to care about hobby programs, so I don't have a good point of
reference
