That would be ideal, but honestly in my experience there are very few
gcc warnings that should be ignored.  Which ones do you think should be
ignored?

What kind of higher bar?  I'm interested in contributing resources for a
build slave (particularly for -Werror) but I can't guarantee 100%
uptime.  What will be the requirements for a build slave?

I'm not sure since I didn't build with -k.  I patched the warning and
now it's building.  I'll commit the fix if everything works.
