Message-ID<tlNWh-6eK-11@gated-at.bofh.it>
Unfortunately, while clang generates a warning about these flags
being unsupported it still exits with a status of 0 so we have
to explicitly disable them instead of just using a cc-option check.

Well, guess what... I found it myself.

-W{no-,error=}ignored-optimization-argument

Either variant will make this sane.

NAK.  Fix your compiler, or use a wrapper script or something.  It is
absolutely *not* acceptable to disable this since future versions of
clang *should* support that.

That being said, it might make sense to look for a key pattern like
"(un|not )supported" on stderr the try-run macro.  Is there really no
-Wno- or -Werror= option to turn off this craziness?
