Wouldn't it be safer to disable specific warnings for specific target(s), or specific sections of a makefile?

I have toyed with an idea like this in my mind. When I think about it,
I wanted to create a warning infrastructure like the one GCC has, with
command line -W... options, allowing -Wno-... to disable them, and also
a -Werror / -Wno-error option to turn them into fatal errors instead of
warnings.
I was just thinking to use MAKEFLAGS += -W... rather than creating a
new variable. However maybe there are reasons that's less desirable
(passing these options to recursive invocations?)
