Distributions don't like -Werror because it prevents end users from building the software using newer compilers that may raise warnings you don't know about yet. This is particularly bad for source-based distributions like Gentoo.
Some flags need to come before the inputs in order to be effective.
The error can trigger QA warnings in non-RPM distros.

Silence the error when the rpm command doesn't exist and add a fallback because the error can trigger QA warnings in non-RPM distros.
