Sorry for the delay responding.  I've done some pondering, and I have come to
the same conclusion as Arne, so this is a reasonable approach to add -Werror.

That said, is there any specific reasons why adding the [-Werror] to
essentially all ACL_CHECK_ADD_COMPILE_FLAGS() calls?  Our ./configure script
is the only one implementing and supporting and using this macro, and it is
defined in configure.ac.

If there are no foreseeable reason for that now, I think it's just fine to
change the AC_COMPILE_IFELSE() call to use CFLAGS="$1 -Werror $old_cflags".
Just add a comment in that area why we add the -Werror explicitly.  This makes
the whole change smaller and clearer.  If we need the flexibility later on, we
can adjust this when that time arrives.
