I have to set both `WARNS=0' and `NOGCCERROR=1' to get this to work. It 
seems like bsd.sys.mk should be aware of the compiler (xlc in this case) 
before adding -Werror or -Wall to CFLAGS. At least it should not 
indiscriminately add the flag as it does now.

I don't know what the proper practice is for dealing with this in 
general, so I defer to the list. What I do know is that adding `-Wall' 
(as happens when WARNS > 0) causes xlc to complain. Same as adding 
`-Werror' (as happens when NOGCCERROR is unset).

What's the correct way to deal with this?
