Please add description to the patches. It helps reviewing them, and,
if we need to revert it for whatever reason in the future, the git log
will help to take into account the rationale about why the change was
needed in the first place.

I applied patches 2 to 5 of this series, but I would prefer to keep the
-Werror here, as it helps to identify and fix potential issues. 

Here (Fedora 29), everything builds fine, but I haven't test on other
distros that could have newer packages.

Why is this patch needed?

Mauro

Thanks,
