Yeah, that's a good point. The problem with using -Werror for
cross-compilers is that you need to use a recent version of gcc as the
build compiler, otherwise you might get different warnings. E.g. I know
my system gcc (3.4) can't compile the sources with -Werror because it
reports more warnings.
However, after introducing two separate warnings in the same day,
this is clearly something I need to do. So FWIW, I've modified my build
scripts to bootstrap a native gcc first, and then use that gcc to build
the cross toolchain, configuring the latter with --enable-werror-always.
