Issue: dev-java/openjdk-11.0.10_p9 uses -Werror for build.
Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: guru_tinderbox)

-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.

NOTE: If you want to change the summary, to avoid auto-filed duplicates, please at least keep the word '-Werror'

dev-java/openjdk is not (and was never) in ::guru. Do you mean dev-java/openjdk-sts-bin?

I can't see -Werror being used, it DOES use it for Java, but that's not the same as for C/C++, and I've never seen any issues from it.
