ffmpeg | branch: master | Diego Biurrun <diego at biurrun.de> | Thu Oct 31 20:14:37 2013 +0100| [056fd4fe65e70b4dbca97bcf7faf8b7ce3df993f] | committer: Diego Biurrun

configure: Properly check for availability of -Wno-foo warning flags

For some weird reason gcc does not check if the -Wno disabling variants
of warning flags match existing warning flags. Instead it swallows them
silently. That is, unless other warning or error messages are generated,
because then - for some even more bizarre reason - a complaint about the
unknown disable warning flag is issued along with the error or warning
message.

Thus to check for the availability of a warning disabling option, one
needs to check for the enabling variant instead and then add the
disabling variant to CFLAGS.
