Fix Config.mk's cc-option for -Wno-* options.

These disable-warning options are handled specially by GCC:
 (a) they are ignored unless the compiler emits a warning; and
 (b) even then they produce a warning rather than an error

To handle this, modify the test invocation of GCC to compile a
fragment of code that will always provoke a warning (integer assigned
to pointer). This works around (a) above.

Then, we grep the compiler's stdout/stderr for the option-under-test,
the presence of which would indicate an "unrecognized command-line
option" warning/error. This works around (b) above, letting us
distinguish between the "integer assigned to pointer" and
"unrecognized command-line option" warnings.

 # cc-option: Check if compiler supports first option, else fall back to second.
+#
+# This is complicated by the fact that unrecognised -Wno-* options:
+#   (a) are ignored unless the compilation emits a warning; and
+#   (b) even then produce a warning rather than an error
+# To handle this we do a test compile, passing the option-under-test, on a code
+# fragment that will always produce a warning (integer assigned to pointer).
+# We then grep for the option-under-test in the compiler's output, the presence
+# of which would indicate an "unrecognized command-line option" warning/error.

 # Usage: cflags-y += $(call cc-option,$(CC),-march=winchip-c6,-march=i586)
