And this is exactly why -Werror is harmful.  A boring harmless warning
turned into a build break :-(

You can sometimes usefully turn *some* warnings into errors, and any
user is of course free to invite as much pain as he or she wants to
bear, but heaping nonsense like this onto unsuspecting users is just
evil.  And it is even worse when the warnings can change with compiler
version!
