You're going to have to learn how to pass options to "configure" if
you're building software in general.  It's really the maintainer's
discretion what the defaults are.

However, I just landed
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687385
for GLib, and will shortly be attempting to do it in more of GNOME.  I
think it gives you a practical middle ground between -Werror and
nothing.  Were NM to consider changes here, it's worth a look.
