Released code that builds with -Werror is inherently rather fragile. It
does certainly catch errors, but it can also cause FTBFS problems that
wouldn't have been a problem without -Werror (particularly during compiler
version transitions). I'm not sure it's a good idea; it may add more
problems than it catches in the long run.
It's *great* for development, of course.
