I have an idea ;)

Why not error handle those the code that produces those "warnings" (as 
you call them) on that particular architecture, instead of 
ignoring/hiding the errors (exit status failure) for everyone?  That 
kind of thing can bite you later in various ways, leading to bug 
reports saying "I tried that but it doesn't work :/  The build script 
exits with success, but...  Could you fix it for me?  I can't tell you 
where to start looking :(".

'errexit' was not invented to punish people, but to help coding robust 
scripts.  In my experience, error handling is one of the most 
neglected areas.
