Personally I think the development builds should be done with
both error -Werror and higher levels of warnings, even if the
ones that users tend to do ignore more warnings.

Clearly some warnings that some versions of gcc have included
in -Wall are just a PITA (like warning for __DATE__ and __TIME__).

The kernel headers do need fixing so that they pass compilation
with options like -Wwrite-strings (linux/mm.h doesn't).
