-Werror can be handy for development, but enabling it for production
builds is a bad idea -- other compilers might produce unexpected
warnings, or #included library headers might trigger warnings.
In my case, libelf's (not elfutil's!) headers trigger several -Wundef
warnings. This wasn't a problem before 056d28d135bc, since gcc doesn't
emit warnings for system headers, but now that there's a
-I/usr/include/libelf/ in the gcc command line, those warnings appear
and break the build.
CC'ing stable@ since 056d28d135bc has also been included in stable
versions.
Fixes: 056d28d135bc ("objtool: Query pkg-config for libelf location")
