build: fix detecting support for -Wno-* compiler flags
Since GCC 4.4, gcc does not warn about unknown -Wno-* flags. At least, it does not warning unless another warning is raised as well (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#wnowarning). We didn't notice up to now, because we only tested flags that GCC actually supports. Hack around this, by checking for the -W* counterpart instead.
