With the warnings, yes, you can just disable them after you've made sure that 
you aren't compiling the functions with different settings. In the 'error' that 
this patch emits, it is that you have absolutely 'messed up'.

Basically:
If you try to call a function with a 256 bit type, and only 1 side uses 'avx' 
(either with 'target', multiversioning, or compiler flags), the ABI will not 
match.  THIS is a programming mistake.  If you're not making said programming 
mistake, suppressing the warning (with the suppression pragma) is your expected 
behavior.
