No, my whole point is that this blacklisting approach doesn't work
outside a controlled dev environment, because different
compilers/compiler versions produce wildy different warnings.
I'm aware of several Linux distros which remove -Werror from build
systems whereever it is encountered. It's a well-known fact among
distributors that enabling -Werror for production builds is a bad idea.
