I personally think that if an upstream says that no warnings must be
produced by the code, and a developer should look at them before
declaring any warnings safe, then that is best followed.
Upstream does not need to take into account warnings produced by
compilers for lesser known architectures, as explained above.
These warnings could be harmless or introduce silent breakage. The user
often can't tell.
You can have breakage without any warnings being emitted, and you can
have warnings that result in no breakage whatsoever.
Furthermore, -Werror on Gentoo makes zero sense; portage will already
produce a QA notice with warnings that have the potential to result in
breakage. -Werror is not needed.
