I see no reason we'd ever want to carry the deprecation of the -W name
through to removing it or making it warn that it is deprecated; synonyms
for warning options don't cause any implementation problems or complexity
in the way the sort of features that are deprecated and then removed do.
Accordingly, I don't see any benefit to adding configure checks and using
a different name for the same option if compiling with newer GCC, rather
than just unconditionally using the older compatible name in bootstrap.
