This compile line is turning off a lot of warnings.  In particular, -Wno-uninitialized and -Wno-parentheses-equality are likely to hide warnings that refer to real errors.  It sounds like this case was one of them - if these warnings were on then we'd have got a build failure rather than an executable that depended on undefined behaviour.
