You'll also miss any other warning message that gets lost in the voluminous make output. (Been there, done that. Compilation ran to completion, fired up gnucash and watched it die horribly, wondered why the ^%$# the compiler didn't catch the problem, then discovered someone had turned off -Werror. Its happened to me more than once.) If you're just worried about unused declarations I'd stick with the configure.in hack to remove -Wunused (or add -Wno-unused). I'd appreciate it if you'd always do a final compile with -Werror enabled before submitting patches, as that is the default for compiling gnucash. If not, anyone who tests your patch might get hit by the very compile warnings you chose to ignore.
