That depends on what the warnings are and how useful they are elsewhere.
These particular warnings do not seem to be useful for Emacs. For
example, it is common practice in Emacs's C macros to parenthesize
expressions to avoid operator-precedence confusion, and if Clang is
complaining about the "extra" parentheses in the preprocessor output
then that's clearly a warning that we should just shut off. Our goal is
clarity and reliability, not Clang pacification.
Given that that message only appears with CFLAGS=-save-temps, we probably don't need to disable it. With my usual configuration (--enable-gcc-warnings, CFLAGS='-O0 -ggdb3') there are no warnings.
