But we already have "confusing and inconsistent" (in quotes, since I
don't think it is nearly as bad as you are making it out to be) thanks
to the C++ requirement..

-Werror is not the problem.. maybe lack of --std=c99 is.. but defn not -Werror
Are there *really* that many people making changes to nir, who are
building mesa without gallium? I think we've already convinced most
people making changes on NIR that they should be building
vc4/freedreno (which requires building gallium) to avoid the sort of
breakage that has already happened a couple times. And if they
aren't, they should be. And since this is all compile-time issues,
rather than runtime, I kind of think you are making a mountain out of
a mole-hill here..
