Are you sure about that? When I configure with -Wall -Werror, I can't even configure properly; one gets the errors

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?
I think the important thing for Dan's case is that he also used -Wall, which we should never turn on by default, especially not with -Werror. Correct me if I've made an incorrect assumption.
