I suspect the reason for this is -Wunknown-warning-option causes
cc-option to fail. I see some disabled warnings like
-Waddress-of-packed-member and -Wunused-const-variable when -Wno-psabi
is unconditionally added.

I'll do some further triage but I think the obvious fix as Will
suggested is to use cc-disable-warning. I'll send a patch.

Cheers,
Nathan
