As of e4650c81, we do w32 builds with -Werror enabled. Unfortunately for cases where we enable VSS support in qemu-ga, we still have warnings generated by VSS includes that ship as part of the Microsoft VSS SDK.
We can selectively address a number of these warnings using #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored ... but at least one of these: warning: ‘typedef’ was ignored in this declaration resulting from declarations of the form: typedef struct Blah { ... }; does not provide a specific command-line/pragma option to disable warnings of the sort. To allow VSS builds to succeed, the next-best option is disabling these warnings on a per-file basis. pragmas like #pragma GCC system_header can be used to declare subsequent includes/declarations as being exempt from normal warnings, but this must be done within a header file. Since we don't control the VSS SDK, we'd need to rely on a intermediate header include to accomplish this, and since different objects in the VSS link target rely on different headers from the VSS SDK, this would become somewhat of a rat's nest (though not totally unmanageable). The next step up in granularity is just marking the entire VSS SDK include path as system headers via -isystem. This is a bit more heavy-handed, but since this SDK hasn't changed since 2005, there's likely little to be gained from selectively disabling warnings anyway, so we implement that approach here. This fixes the -Werror failures in both the configure test and the qga build due to shared reliance on $vss_win32_include. For the same reason, this also enforces a new dependency on -isystem support in the C/C++ compiler when building QGA with VSS enabled.
