Following the build instructions gets you 37 warnings, which should drop to zero with Emacs 25.1 tarfiles where no lisp files should be recompiled. So for pretests this issue is already nonexistent/solved. If you bootstrap or build from a VCS checkout then yes, you get a lot of warnings. History shows that no, we cannot meaningfully reduce the number. New classes of warnings get added faster than the existing ones can be removed. And in some cases the desire to be compatible with multiple Emacs versions makes warnings inevitable (without excessive jumping through hoops). We are all aware the warnings exist, I don't think a bug report about it will make them go away. Lisp compilation errors are never (good enough) platform specific and can always be ignored by non-developers.
