Tweak the configure process to

1. Report back which broken compiler was detected (IS_GCC or IS_CLANG)
2. If the offending compiler is gcc or clang, add appropriate -Wno-
   flags to make it stfu about constructs that Big Brother disapproves
   of.


...

Also, it imaginatively logs "checking the C compiler (gcc-14) oh ick, it looks like gcc"

I personally would say I am not interested in fixing this package, it should rot and die and disappear. :) Treeclean?

It's not like the world isn't full of markdown implementations in C (never mind "modern vanity languages").
