Dude, no one has fixed more warnings than me. What I find distracting
and discouraging is seeing warning regressions is files that were
previously clean. Using -Werror has been requested by several people
who can't seem to stop themselves from introducing new ones.
I.e. Somebody shoot me before I code again! :-)
Anyway, I'm running cross-compiles to all the primary and secondary
systems right now. I'm going to ensure they build cc1, xgcc, etc
before I propose installing the -Werror patch.
