You added it in commit 918b7233d3bb ("Add -Wno-stringop-truncation for
GCC8") since we compile with -Werror and it was a spurious warning.
Joel added the try-cflag check in cd2b103f2488 ("Makefile: Check
-Wno-stringop-truncation is supported") because his compiler (GCC7?)
didn't have -Wno-stringop-truncation and threw and error because of
it. Joel's patch added the --, so we've been compiling with it enabled
for a while now.
