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.
