Description tastytea 2022-12-20 06:02:28 UTC

/go/src/runtime/cgo/cgo.go (in the tarball, installed into /usr/lib/ here) contains:
> #cgo CFLAGS: -Wall -Werror -fno-stack-protector

This seems to add -Werror to everything that is compiled with cgo.

-Werror is not recommended for releases and should always be disabled when encountered in build-logs, because there are numerous cases where this breaks without purpose.
