Work around a SPARC glibc bug which caused the epoll_create1 configure
test to wrongly claim that the function was present. Some versions of
SPARC glibc provided the function in the library but didn't declare
it in the include file; the result is that gcc warns about an implicit
declaration but a link succeeds. So we build the configure test with
-Werror to avoid the test passing but then a -Werror qemu build
failing.
