I asked my question a second time because it is a different question, it is about deactivating.

The warnings are simply a byproduct of the compilation as I told you. You can disable the warnings but it won't make the compilation any faster. You need more memory to compile this code presumably.

When installing libbitcoin from here with $ ./install.sh --prefix=/home/me/myprefix --build-boost --disable-shared after most of the compilation is done there are checks of the sourcecode with warnings like this one:
In file included from ./include/bitcoin/bitcoin/machine/operation.hpp:159:0,
                 from ./include/bitcoin/bitcoin/chain/script.hpp:31,
