Packages adding -Werror by themselves are poorly designed.

Theoretically, configure CFLAGS=<whatever> should always work. However, packages whose authors are adding -Werror inside of a configure script, they also get this wrong. In some (rare) cases, packages adding -Werror have --disable-werror option or similar. > Right now the only solution I found (short of fixing the > code...) is to patch Makefile.in but that does seem very robust. What to do depends upon the details of a package. For packages which are based on autoconf only, patching Makefile.ins could be a solution (the Makefile.ins are source files), in automake-based packages, the appropriate files to patch would be the Makefile.am (The Makefile.in's are generated).
