The configure script fails because it tries to compile small C programs
with a main function which is declared with arguments argc and argv
although those arguments are unused.
Running `configure -extra-cflags=-Wunused-parameter` triggers the problem.
configure for a native build does abort but shows the error in config.log.
A cross build configure for Windows with Debian stable aborts with an
error.
Avoiding unused arguments fixes this.
I'm not convinced that we should allow -extra-cflags to influence
the configure compile checks at all, as there are likely more cases
where arbitrary -W$warn flag will impact the checks, potentially
causing configure to silently take the wrong action.
