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?
You're pretty negative on this idea, aren't you? Let me whittle away at it a bit before we reject it as impractical.
And if one blows past those, "make depend" fails. In fact, everything fails pretty spectacularly.
So a broken config leads to a broken compile?
No, there seem to be multiple severe breakages not caused by the slightly broken config. But let me gather some more data. - Dan
