The description in /usr/src/UPDATING re: the use of NO_WERROR seems to
be incorrect:
20020815:
A "bug" in gcc(1) that was hiding warning in system headers was
fixed. It's probably time to add -DNO_WERROR to your make line
again.
Adding "-DNO_WERROR" to CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf seems to have no
effect; the "-Werror" switch still gets added at certain places during
the build.
On the other hand, defining NO_WERROR as a make variable in
/etc/make.conf does seem to work, like so:
NO_WERROR=true
In addition, for kernel builds, it appears that it is necessary to
define:
WERROR=-Wno-error
I believe some clarification somewhere (in/usr/src/UPDATING,
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf, or /usr/src/Makefile) would be
helpful.
