    Do not abort compilation when dump file is /dev/*
    
    The `configure` scripts generated with autoconf often tests compiler
    features by setting output to `/dev/null`, which then sets the dump
    folder as being /dev/* and the compilation halts with an error because
    GCC cannot create files in /dev/. This is a problem when configure is
    testing for compiler features because it cannot tell if the failure was
    due to unsupported features or any other problem, and disable it even
    if it is working.
    
    As an example, running configure overriding CFLAGS="-fdump-ipa-clones"
    will result in several compiler-features as being disabled because of
    gcc halting with an error creating files in /dev/*.
    
    This commit fixes this issue by checking if the output file is
    /dev/null or /dev/zero. In this case we use the current working
    directory for dump output instead of the directory of the output
    file because we cannot write to /dev/*.
