An alternative proposal: add a opt-out/opt-in flag (similar to _hardened_build) %global _strict_c_flags 0/1 so that various packages can override the default provided by redhat-rpm-config. This could be used to quickly disable the new flags for broken packages. If redhat-rpm-config is changed to not provide the new flags by default, _strict_c_flags=1 could be used request them. This would make it easier to gradually reintroduce the feature.
