If the warning reveals some problem with our code, like "int" being used
with "apr_size_t" should be, then sure, we should fix it. But the issue
is that we're using the type, not that unreleased-gcc spits out a
warning.

If the warning is bogus, then we certainly shouldn't make our code any
less elegant in order to silence warnings from an unreleased compiler.
(Warnings from a released compiler are a trickier issue.)
