The problem the user is experiencing is not the result of any "-Werror" in any Makefile; rather, it is the result of the fact that Apple changed implicit declaration of functions from a warning to an error in Xcode 12. The fix is not to attempt to turn the error back into a warning again. The fix is to define functions before you use them.

Your suggestion will not fix the user's issue.
