Ah, okay, yes, that's a good point.  But -Werror (apart from the one
specifically about format options, which configure probes don't trigger so
far as I know) is not particularly useful from a security perspective.
And even the one for format options doesn't make the software build more
secure; it's a debugging tool to find potential security problems.
