I'd like to disagree here. I know how to turn off -Werror. But if it so happened
I downloaded a tar ball, I might have done it because I'm looking for a software
that might solve some of my needs. If it fails to compile, I go and try an
alternative without further looking at what errors these are. I start reading
them only if there's no other alternative to try out.

With regards
