After you configure, run the following script before running make.

IFS="" find "./" -iname 'Makefile' -print | while read -r file
do

    touch -a -m -r "$file" "$file.timestamp"
    chmod a+w "$file"
    sed -e "s/-Werror//g" "$file" > "$file.fixed" && \
    mv "$file.fixed" "$file"

    chmod a-w "$file"
    touch -a -m -r "$file.timestamp" "$file"
    rm "$file.timestamp"
done
