As an end user of Gentoo, I may not care about "contributing to
upstream"; I just want the software to compile and install.
As has been previously stated, people who care can add -Werror to
their own CFLAGS.
It's quite a bit harder for a user to remove -Werror from the build
system, assuming they can even interpret the error output.
