That's fine and dandy. It's not fine when it's an open source project from three years and four compiler versions ago that you want to compile, and find -Werror on every line invocation in a Makefile.

What you build with in-house for development/test-farms is not what you should ship as default to users of your project.

find -Werror on every line invocation in a Makefile

If it's on every line and not kept in one place in $(CFLAGS), you have bigger problems.

... not to mention that if it is on every line, stripping it out should take 30 seconds with sed.
