This is precisely part of the problem with -Werror. You've now caused some configure checks to fail that, presumably, were passing before. Are they worth making warning-free? Some of the warnings may be in headers we don't control. What do we do then? > And if one blows past those, "make depend" fails. In fact, everything > fails pretty spectacularly. So a broken config leads to a broken compile? I guess I'm not seeing the severity of that. --Juan
