Merge pull request #1797 in HDFFV/hdf5 from ~DEROBINS/hdf5_der:gnu-flags-work to develop

* commit 'd5031a55192ac6b8ca81a0e5315cb4739af98896':
  Removed support for gcc 4.3 and earlier.
  Fix errant quotes
  * Fixed a bug in the gcc warning parsing * Changed version parsing from == gcc 4.x to < to handle ancient compilers.
  Reworked the config/gnu-flags file to be more organized and robust.
  Converted duplicated flags code to a set of if statements.
