See bug 18432. Because this warning was backported in some vendor
compilers we need a configure test rather than a simple version test to
control the warning disabling (make sure the configure test is properly
commented to explain that the option was added in GCC 5, so it's clear it
can be removed when GCC 5 is the minimum version for building glibc).
