Do you expect people to only build using the toolchain compiler from now on?

The issue I've had in the past with -Werror is that some people tend to
upgrade their compiler a bit earlier than others, and when you get a new
compiler, oftentimes it comes with new warnings. Then it's a real big pain
when you can no longer compile past releases with your new compiler.

That said, I think it's a nice idea for the precommit builds since they use
a known-good compiler.
