    pc-bios/s390-ccw/netboot.mak: Ignore Clang's warnings about GNU extensions · e2269220

    When compiling the s390-ccw bios with Clang (v14.0), there is currently
    an unuseful warning like this:
    
      CC      pc-bios/s390-ccw/ipv6.o
     ../../roms/SLOF/lib/libnet/ipv6.c:447:18: warning: variable length array
      folded to constant array as an extension [-Wgnu-folding-constant]
                    unsigned short raw[ip6size];
                                   ^
    
    SLOF is currently GCC-only and cannot be compiled with Clang yet, so
    it is expected that such extensions sneak in there - and as long as
    we don't want to compile the code with a compiler that is neither GCC
    or Clang, it is also not necessary to avoid such extensions.
    
    Thus these GNU-extension related warnings are completely useless in
    the s390-ccw bios, especially in the code that is coming from SLOF,
    so we should simply disable the related warnings here now.
