For 2.1, I suggest going for -Werror too.

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.
