      I'm seeing a compiler warning that results in a compilation error when using --enable-strict:

      ../../../examples/c/ex_smoke.c: In function ‘main’:
../../../examples/c/ex_smoke.c:48:2: error: ignoring return value of ‘system’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]
  (void)system("rm -rf WT_HOME && mkdir WT_HOME");
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

      We should handle an error elegantly.
