Hello. I propose to make that message more verbose. It sure would have helped me once. You don't always have a Web search available :)
Warnings turned into errors have the [-Werror=...] tag at the end so I'm not sure I see when reiterating -Werror at the end of output would be helpful. Can you explain the circumstances when it would have helped you? For what it's worth, a change here that I think might be more useful is printing the number of diagnostics of each kind (e.g., 2 warnings and 5 errors found).

If this change should move forward, -Werror needs to be quoted (e.g., passed as an argument to %qs or surrounded in a pair of %< and %> directives). The "disable with -Wno-error" part is superfluous and would not be entirely accurate for warnings promoted to errors by #pragma GCC diagnostic (those cannot be demoted back to warnings by -Wno-error).
