:Because we are wanting for people to let the dust settle on the switch to
:GCC 3.1. It is best for people to juse use -DNO_WERROR for now.

Ahhh.. so *that's* why everything broke when I did a full update.
You know, every time I update my -current sources it's winding up
taking me an entire day to get things to build again. This is the third
time that's happened. I have spent at least 5 hours building the world
and the kernel over and over again to try to produce a bootable system.
The annoyance factor is quite high.
It would be more considerate of comitters if they would adjust the
defaults for these things so at the very least one can buildworld or
buildkernel without having to do something special. It may be best
for *you* not to spend the time, but look at the huge amount of other
people's time that is being wasted by these little snafus! I do
appreciate all the compiler tools work, I know it isn't easy. I'm just
asking that a little more care be taken in regards to the other
developers trying to work with -current (which is more and more these
days). Don't expose breakage to the whole development community on
purpose!
-Matt
