An error was raised while installation of pyECC in ubuntu stating the rc variable in file ecc.c was unused. This warning is preventing it from installation.

This is actually kind of funny, the variable is used but only if -DDEBUG is defined. Let me think on this a little bit, I still think -Werror is a beneficial flag to leave on
