Thanks for bringing that up.  I didn't observe those warnings
even when configuring with --enable-gcc-warnings.  I just now
looked into matter and it turns out that the warnings are
suppressed by the "#pragma GCC system_header" at the start of
all the files that contain the patches you're referring to.
So we should be OK.

For headers that are not system headers, I plan to use
_GL_INLINE, which addresses the problem in a different way.
