It works well in other projects, such as coreutils: 'make' uses -Werror
only for developers, who check out from git.  'make' does not use -Werror
for ordinary builds from tarballs.  Developers are assumed to have up-to-date
systems where -Werror is appropriate.

I'm surprised you didn't run into this.  What's your workflow like?  Don't
you have .git subdirectories?

The problem for regcomp.c was due to an interaction between a recent change
to the regex code and the particular set of warning options used for GNU tar.
I fixed it with the first attached patch.  The other minor problems seem worth
fixing too, so I fixed them with the second attached patch.
