I admit I'm not sure about this. The change would immediately break K&R compilers but they are no longer in the target set anyway. Let's wait for comments from those who know better. ;-) > If CFLAGS contains '-Werror’ Well, the configure collects literally bits of information about the platform. The bit is 0 or 1, depending on whether the compilation (link) failed or not. Using -Werror may skew some results. If these mis-detected bit of information break the build, we get a bug report, like in this case. But what if the mis-detected bits do not prevent a build? The build just fails to use a feature which should otherwise be used, so the build disables that feature or reimplements it internally. Generally, while -Werror during "make" makes you more safe, -Werror at configure time exposes you to extra risk. Perhaps we should do something about it. Perhaps ./configure should detect -Werror in CFLAGS (and other *FLAGS) and bail out with an error message. Wdyt?
