IMHO, -Werror is a Bad Idea (tm). With the current trend in GCC and
other compilers to print warnings for perfectly valid C, -Werror tends to
break good code with every new release of GCC, to say nothing of
development snapshots people use.
I think we should stop using -Werror, except maybe in maintainer's mode.
