A-Ah... well, that was the source of my problem when I tried to build on 
RH9/RHEL3... well, again it's not a big deal, forcing it to be disabled 
work with no problem.
However I would recommend to be consistent with the top level settings 
and turn off warnings-as-errors also on wiretap.
Treating warnings as errors is useful only for a developer, but is only 
going to create trouble for somebody that just want to use wireshark 
(and perhaps can't find a prebuilt version for his platform).
