Clean up compilation warnings coming from PL/Perl with clang-12~

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 3fff9b6c1856 · 2021-12-12T18:06:07.000-05:00
clang-12 has introduced -Wcompound-token-split-by-macro, that is causing a large amount of warnings when building PL/Perl because of its interactions with upstream Perl. This commit adds one -Wno to CFLAGS at ./configure time if the flag is supported by the compiler to silence all those warnings. This back-patches commit 9ff47ea into out-of-support branches, pursuant to newly-established project policy. The point is to suppress scary-looking warnings so that people building these branches needn't expend brain cells verifying that it's safe to ignore the warnings.
