What about changing -Werror to be a little bit more fine grained: so
it would be possible to specify exactly which warnings would be
errors.
Something like -Werror=LIST_OF_WARNINGS_THAT_SHOULD_GENERATE_ERRORS
or -WWARNING_NAME=error
Then we could turn on -Werror for all the un-controversial warnings,
that don't generate false positives, like -Wformat,
-Wstrict-prototypes, etc.
(currently we have fine grained control for warnings, but not for
-Werror).
Just my 2 cents
