Your thinking is > completely backward. you missed the point completely. there's no way you're going to build elfutils across gcc-4.{4,5,6,7,+} and glibc-2.{11,12,13,14,+} over a variety of architectures, compiler optimizations, and configure options. expecting that kind of coverage is completely unrealistic, and i already know there are a bunch of architectures you'd refuse to bother with. distributions however do build over these array of configurations, and the vast majority of warnings arising from the build are simply irrelevant noise. applying patches to distros to address new warnings is a complete waste of time. e.x. gcc-4.6 includes much better warnings like -Wunused-but-set- variable which have absolutely no bearing on the generated code. if your logic were actually true, i would wonder why significantly more relevant projects like binutils or gdb or gcc include --disable-werror configure flags. -mike
