A better tactic would be to help him reproduce the warning. It looks
like he's using '#pragma GCC system_header' which IIRC is an imperfect
warning suppression mechanism - although I forget why. So I guess
you're hitting whatever the weakness is. Gcc 4.6 added pragmas for
pushing and popping warning state in a similar manner to Visual C++,
maybe they could be used (obviously won't work for older versions).
