As a professional C coder for 20+ years, with well over a million lines of code under my belt, I can tell you that anyone that is ignoring warnings because of a buggy compiler is using the wrong compiler and should fix that immediately.
I work on SIL-4 rated systems for life-protection applications. Absolutely ZERO TOLERANCE for warnings is a requirement in this job, and every single time it has been addressed, the warning gave us a clue how to fix something. Whether it was the code that needed fixing, or the compiler - either way, the alert is there. Ignore at your own peril.
