The build system doesn't have a convenient way of selectively disable warnings for different compiler versions. I recommend against trying to implement that here. 

If this library is all third-party code, does it really matter that much if we disable another warning? We aren't responsible for keeping this source warning free as we can't make changes to it to anyway.
