Yeah, it has been there since forever and peterz and mingo use it from

Oh, and it is part of the smoke build-tests we're doing so...

Yeah, I am aiming for a "this should be always enabled in your config
so you could use this defconfig as a start"-thing, in the hope that
WERROR=y would proliferate then.

Thx.
