No, don't think so. -Werror is severe: it would cause compile-failures on
systems not quite the same as ours. For instance, when using
Linux-2.4.0-test-kernels (bleeding edge ;) I consistently get a warning
about a redefine in <sys/resource.h>. That isn't Python's fault, and we
can't do anything about it, but with -Werror it would cause
compile-failures. The warning is annoying, but not fatal.
