Sure they will. They'll throw it away and try something else. If the
program declares main as void would you really trust the rest of it?

I have occasionally seen net source that passes "-Wall -Werror" but so
far nothing has passed this;
CFLAGS = -ansi -Wall -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings \
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -funsigned-char \
-Dscanf=DONT_USE_SCANF -Dgets=DONT_USE_GETS -Werror
