Fix for issue 5355

   compiler.get_supported_arguments reports success for certain unsupported
   flags when using the gnu C/ObjC, C++/ObjC++ compilers.  This fix reads
   the stderr on the has_arguments check to ensure the arguments really are
   supported and not valid for the language selection
