Or maybe it would be be better always use -Werror in cc-option?

Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: always use -Werror in 'call cc-option'

Some versions of gcc produce warning instead of error when
-fsanitize flag uses unsupported argument:
	https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61065

This breaks our detection of whether -fsanitize=kernel-address
is supported by compiler or not. Thus we have tons of build
warnings like this:
	x86_64-linux-gcc: warning: unrecognized argument to -fsanitize= option: 'kernel-address'

To workaround this compiler bug we could always use -Werror
with 'call cc-option' forcing gcc to produce error instead of
warnings.
