tools: Ignore errors from `which' when searching a GCC toolchain

When cross-building tools with clang, we run `which $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc`
to detect whether a GCC toolchain provides the standard libraries. It is
only a helper because some distros put libraries where LLVM does not
automatically find them. On other systems, LLVM detects the libc
automatically and does not need this. There, it is completely fine not
to have a GCC at all, but some versions of `which' display an error when
the command is not found:

  which: no aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc in ($PATH)

Since the error can safely be ignored, throw it to /dev/null.
