The CI reports failures of the test tests/misc/warning-errors in two

It looks like the CI machine doesn't have any optimized CRC32
implementations to use. Therefore, 'cksum --debug' won't write to
standard error and will return 0.
On a powerpc64 machine, I got the same error along with a similar one
for 'wc -l', which is only optimized on some x86 and arm machines.
I pushed the attached patch to adjust the expected exit status based on
values from config.h.
That is correct but too coupled.
I pushed an adjustment to simple skip the check
if a command does not output to standard error.
cheers,
