For my own code I generally -Wall -Werror and if that breaks a prospective dependency in a nontrivial manner I find a replacement. I'll also tend to go looking for a replacement if a prospective dependency breaks when compiled with either asan or ubsan. Why would I voluntarily subject myself to such shoddy code?
I perform my own builds with -Wall -Werror. But it is a kindness to users of your code to provide a build flag that excludes -Werror. This allows user who are building with a GCC compiler version later than mine to sill build the code without having to modify the build scripts.
