I agree with Norbert here. The more tinderboxes we have that (continue
to) use --enable-werror, the better.  (If with significantly different
compilers, even better.)

  I have no problem with different, I have a problem with broken. There's no
benefit of fixing warnings for a compiler that is 6 years old. If the warning
were valid, recent gcc would emit it too.

We have to live with broken compilers. And on Mac OS X we are pretty much bound to that specific compiler instance.

With the >>= issue at hand, IMO the benefits (--enable-werror for Mac OS X) outweigh the costs (sprinkle the code base with trivial "= T()" or similar initializations).

  Or does that mean I should enable WaE for the MSVC tinderbox too? That should
be some fun, with people even now not bothering to fix that build that much.

Yes, we should certainly --enable-werror there. The code base used to be warning-free even for MSVC. Everything else is a regression.
