Hmm... that's odd.
I removed the declare-function, then did:

    (cd lisp; make autoloads); make`

and the warning was still gone.
I can imagine the warning sticking around if you do

    cd lisp; make autoloads; make

because then you only recompile `lisp/dnd.el` without first rebuilding
Emacs with the new `lisp/loaddefs.el`, but in the case of bootstrap
I can't see why the warning would linger (my machine's weak CPU makes
it much too painful to do a bootstrap so I haven't tested that case).

I guess that's possible.  In that case the warning should disappear
when lisp/ldefs-boot.el is updated.

Yes.
