    BUILD: Makefile: speed up compiler options detection
    
    Commits b78016649 and d3a7f4035 brought the ability to detect the build
    options and warnings that the compiler supports. However, they're detected
    using "$(CC) -c", which is 50% slower than "$(CC) -E" for the same result,
    just because it starts the assembler at the end. Given that we're starting
    to check for a number of warnings, this detection alone starts to become
    visible, taking a bit more than 300 ms on the build time. Let's switch to
    -E instead to shrink this incompressible time by roughly 100 ms.
