build: disable -Wattributes warnings on aix

bnoordhuis · targos · commit d8a948f0fc06 · 2020-04-22T18:34:43.000+02:00
Disable the following compiler warning: warning: visibility attribute not supported in this configuration; ignored [-Wattributes] This is gcc complaining about `__attribute((visibility("default"))` in static library builds. Legitimate but harmless (and uninteresting) and it drowns out more relevant warnings.
