As has been pointed out the warning is actually originating in the C library
that you are using, not the compiler or the linker.

There are a couple of workarounds that might be applicable to you:

  *) You could post-process gcc's output and strip out the warning message.

  *) You could remove the offending section (.gnu.warning) from the C library
(in the tmpman.o archive element).

  *) You could use a custom linker script that discards the particular
.gnu.warning section.

Fixing the problem by disabling all warnings generated via .gnu.warning
sections is a very bad idea.  These warnings are not meant to be ignored.  The
specific tmpnam warning could be suppressed[1] but I am not particularly keen
on the idea.

Cheers
  Nick

[1]: Search the linker sources for instances of warn_multiple_gp to see how
this has already been done for a different warning message.
