Creating a less obscure way to use -Werror might be worthwhile, though.I suppose we could add "--with-Werror" but it seems pretty specialized to me. A more appropriate solution would allow the user to provide flags that get added to CFLAGS only after we do all the configure tests (implying that it's on the user's head that these flags are right and don't break anything, but then again that's pretty much true of up-front CFLAGS too). And that basically describes COPTS ... the only thing lacking is documentation.
For what it's worth, I agree. Though we might want to arrange for configure to store the value of COPT somewhere so that COPT="-Werror" ./configure make works which it currently doesn't seem to. best regards, Florian Pflug
