That last part sounds like a clang bug -- -Wno-foo is supposed
to not be an error on compilers that don't implement -Wfoo for
any value of foo (unless some other warning/error would also
be emitted).
-Wno-foo isn't an error, but it is a warning... which we then
turn into an error due to -Werror, unless we pass -Wno-unknown-warning-option
to clang.
Right, it's a consequence.
At any rate, that's how gcc does it
(see the paragraph "When an unrecognized warning option ..."
in https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html )
and I thought clang did too...
