I agree - for source distribution.  Yes, GDB releases have -Werror turned off.

I believe -Werror is appropriate for .src.rpm as only .arch.rpm is what is
being shipped to the real users.  -Werror is only of concern to the package
maintainer who should keep warnings under control.  -Werror is probably the
most easy way to keep them non-regressing.

One can only argue -Werror is not appropriate for rpmbuild --rebuild by users.
But they will see new warnings only in non-standardard
distro/environment/configuration, such advanced users should be aware of
everything how to deal with it anyway.


Thanks,
