I received a suggestion offline to add "NOGCCERROR=" to /etc/mk.conf.  It
didn't work; I don't know why.  Investigation showed the logic behind the
suggestion, in /usr/share/mk/bsd.sys.mk:  

.if !defined(NOGCCERROR)
CFLAGS+= -Werror
.endif

In a moment of quiet desperation, though, I tried "make -D NOGCCERROR". 
That did the trick.  

If anyone thinks I should send a pr on this, tell me.
