are you really proposing to add -Werror by default?

Sure, it has its value if you fully control the build environment e.g.
for the maintainers / developers of the application. But for users of
the code it is a good way to turn some away as they cannot even compile
your code.

It is one of the most common things that Linux distributions have to
patch out. See https://lwn.net/Articles/433422/ especially the comments
for a reference.
