Considering the number of cases in which "unused" command line arguments are silently ignored by compilers, it's fairly astonishing that anybody thought this warning was useful; it's certainly nothing but an annoyance when building Postgres. One such case is that neither gcc nor clang complain about unrecognized -Wno-foo switches, making it more difficult to figure out whether the switch does anything than one could wish. Back-patch to 9.3, which is as far back as the patch applies conveniently (we'd have to back-patch PGAC_PROG_CC_VAR_OPT to go further, and it doesn't seem worth that).
