The trouble is that the warnings and errors here don't cause the
build to fail noisily; that's a big distinction IMHO.
I suppose we could make compile_prog do something like:
 * run the compile test
 * if it fails => test failure as now
 * if it succeeds (and we're doing a Werror build at all),
   rerun the same test with -Werror
 * if that fails, abort configure with an error message
Then we would have the same "make the problem obvious" effect
that plain -Werror provides for our main compilation.

Yes, I agree we might as well fix these errors since we've now
noticed them, regardless of whether or not we apply my patch
(which I've just sent).
