[PATCH] Only add -fno-var-tracking-assignments workaround for old GCC versions.

[Mark Wielaard]

Some old GCC versions between 4.5.0 and 4.9.1 might miscompile code
with -fvar-tracking-assingments (which is enabled by default with -g -O2).
commit 2062afb4f added -fno-var-tracking-assignments unconditionally to
work around this. But newer versions of GCC no longer have this bug, so
only add it for versions of GCC before 5.0.
