Subject: [PATCH] perfcounter: don't keep warnings treated as errors as default

Building userspace perfcounter tools gives such warning:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
builtin-top.c: In function ‘print_sym_table’:
builtin-top.c:207: erreur: ignoring return value of ‘write’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
make: *** [builtin-top.o] Erreur 1

It's about checking if a write was successful on stdout.
The real point here is that treating each warning as errors by default
can be avoided, especially for such harmless warning.

This patch drop -Werror from perfcounter tools makefile.
