by default "Other Warning Flags" gets populated with -Wmost (and some 
other warning flags), since the other warning flags are passed later 
than the "Missing Braces and Parentheses" warning flag. So you have two 
options:

1) add "-Wparentheses" to the end of "Other Warning Flags" in the 
target (unless you have a ton of targets, it's less hassle just to 
modify the targets in this case). If you want to do this in a build 
style set "Other Warning Flags" to "$(value) -Wparentheses".

2) Clear out "Other Warning Flags" and re-enable the warnings you want 
in the target individually. This is problematic since there is no way 
to turn off all warnings in gcc and build them up one by one, but in 
many cases this will do what you want.
