Due to -Werror being set, -Winvalid-pch which I happened to have enabled caused a build failure for icedtea-6.1.7.1.

See url.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable some warnings, eg. -Winvalid-pch
2. emerge icedtea:6


Actual Results:  
build failure

Expected Results:  
Let the warnings be warnings. It should be up to the user to set -Werror or not as warnings change over time (new compilers and such)

Grepping the build log of icedtea-7.2.0 says -Werror is still heavily used.

Now this no longer applies to just the java-overlay but main tree as well.

This is fixed for good in icedtea-7.2.3.2. See http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1095
