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.

BTW this is for fsverity-utils.

I should put a [fsverity-utils] in the title, sorry about this.
I can resubmit one if you need.

Thank you

Looks good, thanks!  I'll also want to add a test for building with dash to
scripts/run-tests.sh, but I can do that.

Note that we've just changed the license of fsverity-utils to the MIT license.
Can you rebase onto the latest master branch (commit ab794fd56511) and resend to
indicate that you agree?  And yes, I suggest "[fsverity-utils PATCH]", as this
mailing list is mostly used for kernel patches.  Thanks!

OK no problem,
I will send another one to add this subject format suggestion to the
Contributing section in README.md.

Thank you.
