I'm a bit suprised because the only custom patch that is needed should
be the LLVM patch on Linux/x86 platform.
And this is clearly mentioned in INSTALL ('Required Software' section)
The other thing is that we don't support LLVM 2.5 anymore unlike
INSTALL.Ubuntu states. LLVM trunk is currently needed as the main
INSTALL now states it. I'll fix INSTALL.Ubuntu right now.

You shouldn't have to skip any warning on Ubuntu or FreeBSD. If you
get a lot of warnings, this just means something is wrong with a
dependency. The common error is to try to compile Étoilé with GNUstep
stable versions instead of the unstable versions.
For untested platforms such as NetBSD or Solaris, you could eventually
remove -Werror for ADDITIONAL_OBJCFLAGS in etoile.make in case you
want to play a bit with the build process, and try to figure out what
needs to be fixed.

No, that would be crazy :-)
Cheers,
