Some older versions of GCC report a false positive on code like
char * haystack, needle;
strchr(haystack, needle);
Added an extra check in configure.ac which will
#define BROKEN_GCC_WLOGICALOP 1
in this case, allowing to special handle "offending" code.

dnl Our only use of libtasn1.h is in the testsuite, and can be skipped
dnl if the header is not present. Assume -ltasn1 is present if the
