I'm failing to update to gdb-6.4 with my default cflags, that haves -Wformat=2 
(I know, it's not good to add extra -W flags, but I use that to look for 
format strings to be safe in packages I maintain at least), but it builds with 
-Werror and then bails out as -Wformat=2 creates some warnings. 
 
Would it be possible to remove -Werror from gdb build? 
 
Thanks, 
Diego
