Old versions of Clang reported the unsupported function attribute and
__crc32d() function as warnings instead of errors, so the feature test
passed when it shouldn't have, causing a compile error at build time.
-Werror was added to this feature test to fix this. The change is not
needed for CMake because check_c_source_compiles() also performs
linking and the error is caught then.
Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior for reporting this.
