Probably we should fix as-instr in the same way.

You can do it in the same patch, or in a separate one.
It is up to you.

No, I do not think so.

I think we should always add -Werror to as-option.



as-option checks the command line options with /dev/null
as the source input (that is, source input is always valid).


If as-option results in a warning, that option will sprinkle
the same warning for all *.S files in the source tree.

So, any warning in as-option should be considered as an error.
