Look again.  It doesn't say anything about CFLAGS.  It uses the
slightly confusing term "make line", which refers to the make(1)
command line, as in:

# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld -DNO_WERROR

In any case, the problems this UPDATING entry was meant to address
were fixed a long time ago, and you do not need NO_WERROR.
