Subject: [PATCH] configure: Use CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD when checking native compiler

This fixes a bug where configure would fail or disable static
ecmult tables because it wrongly checks the native compiler using
the target CFLAGS (instead of the native CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD), and
similar for CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS.

Moreover, this commit adds tests to figure out whether the native
compiler supports the warning flags passed during the build, and it
contains a few minor improvements to the code that checks the native
compiler.
