Better to just not build with -Werror (which is arguably silly for release builds) moving to redhat-rpm-config and rhel, which is where it is all defined. -Werror can be useful for development work but its a terrible idea to use it for "release builds" because of issues like this: compilers can and do grow new warnings over time so code which at some point compiled free of any warnings might trip tonnes of warnings with a later compiler version. NOTABUG, just eliminate the -Werror usage. |
