gcc, make: how to disable fail on warning?

Question

I\'m trying to build gcc for use with an AVR micro controller and avr-ada, and I\'ve hit a roadblock caused by my regular compiler being too picky about the version I needed

In general, it is not a good idea to ignore warnings from your compiler. However, if this is a portion of a larger make process there is likely a -Werror flag inserted earlier in the sequence. Start by looking for that.

After looking around, there seems to be a wealth of flags to control warnings while compiling Ada code. For instance, -gnatwF will Suppress warnings on unreferenced formals according to this guide. Possibly the switch you require can be found in the list provided there.
