build-sys: Check behavior of -Werror=shadow before deciding to use it
gcc versions 4.6 and earlier used to complain when a local variable
shadows a global function, 4.7 and above only complain if a local
variable shadows a global variable.
Fix this by checking whether gcc 4.7+ behavior is in place before
deciding to use -Werror=shadow in $(CFLAGS), by using a custom test
program source that shadows a global function with a local variable and
confirming that -Werror=shadow does not make the compile to break.
Tested:
- On gcc 4.7 and 4.8, confirmed nothing changed (other than the order of
the -Werror=shadow argument, going to the end of CFLAGS.)
- On gcc 4.6, confirmed by looking at the config.log output that the
check for -Werror=shadow failed and it was not included in CFLAGS.
- Ran `make V=1` to confirm -Werror=shadow was still in use, introduced
a bogus shadowing issue and confirmed it was caught when building with
a recent gcc.
