I disagree. Warnings should not automatically cause errors; this
should not be set in released software, just like
G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, because you never know when your next release
will be or what compilers on what platforms warn about which possible
problems.

Also it's not as if he was inventing this, we have been doing this in
pkgsrc for a long time.
