Note that there is nothing wrong to have a warning for dubious
constructs. But a fatal error for something valid is not acceptable.
If it is the end user who blindly added -Werror, then that's the
user's fault. But if this one is part of -pedantic-errors and/or
-Werror=pedantic (which are not equivalent in GCC!), then this
should be regarded as a compiler bug.
