x86_64 msvc: warning: [email protected]: Inherited flag "/Oy-" is not supported by the currently used CC

On my native x86_64-pc-windows-msvc environment, I am observing the error messages:

This is probably related to the cc bumps we done recently... FYI @clubby789 :ferrisClueless: I have not tried to bisect this.

Yeah these warnings come from cc trying to pass through the equivalent flags (observed while debugging the recent bump). cc probes them and emits this warning if it can't pass the flags through.

Not sure if this is necessarily something to worry about - maybe cc could provide more options to configure this behaviour

[clubby789]

/Oy enables frame-pointer omission and /Oy- disables omission. In x64 compilers, /Oy and /Oy- are not available.

Hmm, maybe CC should be applying some more heuristics to these inherited flags

Yeah, I just wanted to track it in case it's problematic.
