build-sys: Move to compiling with C11 support
This is needed for building with anonymous unions. A bunch of calls to fail() that used to mysteriously work need fixing -- fail() is a macro that takes a printf-style message as an argument. Not passing this somehow worked with the previous compiler flags, but breaks with -std=c11.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG(FLAG, [ACTION-SUCCESS], [ACTION-FAILURE], [EXTRA-FLAGS], [INPUT])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# Check whether the given FLAG works with the current language's compiler
+# or gives an error. (Warnings, however, are ignored)
+#
+# ACTION-SUCCESS/ACTION-FAILURE are shell commands to execute on
+# success/failure.
+#
+# If EXTRA-FLAGS is defined, it is added to the current language's default
+# flags (e.g. CFLAGS) when the check is done. The check is thus made with
+# the flags: "CFLAGS EXTRA-FLAGS FLAG". This can for example be used to
+# force the compiler to issue an error when a bad flag is given.
+#
+# INPUT gives an alternative input source to AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
+#
+# NOTE: Implementation based on AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION. Please keep this
+# macro in sync with AX_CHECK_{PREPROC,LINK}_FLAG.
