And when they are accompanied by -Werror?

To be specific.  GCC compilers were overly zealous when it came to
structure initializers.  For instance, rejecting:
   my_struct = {0}; // blame microsoft?
Is stripping -Werror, or adding -Wno-struct-initializers, the less
evil of the two choices?  Complaining upstream is likely to be met
with an eye role :-)
