Since the new build does not enable -Werror when compiling any java
code, and disables quite a few lint options, new changes my
inadvertently introduce warnings without even realizing. This can cause
problems when building with the old build as many areas do compile with
-Werror set. Since the old build is on life support, probably best to
just completely disable -Werror, so anyone still needing to use it can.
