Wouldn't this make it impossible to set WARN_CFLAGS=-Werror when invoking configure? Or at least make that usage undocumented. The original motivation for the module was that -Werror cannot go into CFLAGS, so I need to provide the flag somewhere else, which ended up being WARN_CFLAGS. If that variable isn't documented as a useful place to put -Werror in, the motivation for this module is gone for me. /Simon
