Don't worry about it.  There are enough people compiling with newer gcc
where the warning is not disabled that you won't be introducing in problems.

But isn't the problem that the use of pragmas to silence broken warnings
is specific to newer gcc, while you are trying to silence the warning on
older gcc?  I guess I'll have to look at what you did; and I still need
to work up my patch for the warning avoidance at configure time anyway.
