5 As can be judged by the title of my patches on the subject, I consider
6 -Werror to be short-sighted at best and idiotic at worst. The next GCC
7 version, which will add *loads* of warnings to anything that compiled
8 cleanly before, is going to kill you.
9 Remove it from the build system. It is one of those patches that will
10 probably live downstream until the end of time, but that is acceptable.
