Doing so prevents bootstrapping with bleeding-edge autotools,

to become hard errors for at least a few years to come).  And
unfortunately, options in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE take precedence over
those given on the command line (this is a long-time wart of
automake), so the -Werror setting cannot be easily overridden
from the command line :-(

Thanks very much for the heads up, but what in this case would it take to fix the warnings?
