Description

It could be useful in some situations (eg: when packaging/installing) to be able to disable warnings as errors in the build. This is the recommendation for instance of the Gentoo packaging guide (https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/common-mistakes, section "-Werror compiler flag not removed").

See attached patch.
