Romain, All,

On 2020-06-28 22:16 +0200, Romain Naour spake thusly:
> Currently glibc 2.30 is build by default with Werror enabled but it
> has only been tested with compiler version available at the time of
> the release [1] (gcc 6.2 up to gcc 9.2.1). It's recommended to use
> those version with glibc 2.30.
> 
> For the same reason why we remove Werror in packages's compiler
> flags. Building with Werror is not bulletproof when we start
> using a newer compiler that introduce new warnings.
> This is the case here with gcc 10, as reported by Yegor Yefremov
> [2].
> 
> Fixing compiler warnings would require backporting many patches [3]
> not even backported by Glibc maintainers to the 2.30 stable
> branch. Instead, disable Werror by using --disable-werror.
> Most (if not all) gcc 10 warnings will be fixed with Glibc 2.31.
