I'm not convinced this is the best approach, it seems fragile to assume
that GCC will accept all -Wno options. Could we not improve the
detection of an unsupported flag instead? If it requires a warning to
generate the spurious warning, maybe we should just fill the test code
with junk...

The other question is which is the lesser evil?
