Can you say something about when you needed this?  What errors were you seeing?

the referenced PR describes one:
/build/src/gcc-4.7.1/libgo/runtime/print.c: In function 'gwrite':
/build/src/gcc-4.7.1/libgo/runtime/print.c:20:3: error: ignoring return value
of 'write', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

this bites distros that enable security settings by default (such as fortify 
and ssp).  but ignoring even that, i don't believe releases should build all 
the time with -Werror -- i'm fine with defaulting to on as long as there is a 
configure flag to turn it off which is what this does like is already handled in 
much of the sourceware tree.  -Werror is great for development, but sucks when 
deployed on actual systems.  the assumptions made at time of checkin rarely 
stay constant forever (in this case, a changing lib C can easily break it).

I certainly don't mind.  You should probably get agreement from the
release managers although this seems safe enough.
