With a new version of GCC errors are blocking the build at various

Not sure how serious the issue is. Should I just add the compiler flags
to get through the build?
Guess the important question is, is the warning correct or not?
If it is correct, certainly fix the code, if it is a false positive, either
find a workaround, turn the warning off (locally or globally) or don't build
wiht -Werror (or turn the particular warning into a warning only, say
-Werror -Wno-error=whatever). Warnings do have false positives and with
-Werror you need to be prepared to work around the warnings any time new
ones appear, typically -Werror is a good fit only for some projects and only
for development builds.
