Do not validate options when finding non-matching

This is a) useless because it's only used to print which options are not
default, and b) harmful because it can result in cases where things
break, like in projects that set a standard that the chosen compiler
doesn't support, but the project (or some subset) can be built with a
different standard.

Fixes: #8360
