The build on Ubuntu Xenial with GCC 5.4.0 will fail with:
    cc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wimplicit-fallthrough’

This unsupported flag is not skipped as expected.

It is because of the /bin/sh shell on Ubuntu, DASH, which does not
support this &> redirection. Use 2>&1 to solve this problem.
