I've just found another problem with the manywarnings module:

gcc 4.6.2 handles -Wabi and -Wdeprecated just fine for C code (I don't
know if it is silently ignored, or if it could actually trigger); but
gcc 4.2.1 (as shipped on FreeBSD) complains:

cc1: warning: command line option "-Wabi" is valid for C++/ObjC++ but
not for C
cc1: warning: command line option "-Wdeprecated" is valid for C++/ObjC++
but not for C

on every single compilation run.  Is there a way to improve the module
so that these warnings are not added to the command line when dealing
with older (noisier) gcc?
