  I managed to build my custom kernel by adding the string

        NO_WERROR=yes

to the file '/etc/make.conf'.
It built fine after that and now my system works with this kernel, but
I am still not sure whether such trick is acceptable or not. Could
somebody please shortly explain me the reasons for which warnings are
treated as errors by default and give some advice on whether I should
stick to such mode or not necessarily?

  Thanks!
