dropping backward compatibility for compilers w/o prototypes is not
the same as compiling the kernel with those options, and saying that
the kernel should be compiled with those options doesn't mean that
said backward compatibility should be dropped.

I, for one, strongly encourage compiling with -Werror, to the point of
having a strong desire to add it to the system Make rules for
'standard' programs.  If -Werror didn't exist, the Alpha port would
have been ... a lot harder...
