I for one think that this is a serious issue, and I encourage you to accept such patches (not for 1.34.0, obviously, but 1.34.1) and make it a release goal for 1.35 (or 1.34.1) to reduce the number of warnings to a decent level. Maybe change the regression tests to highlight any kind of compiler diagnostics in <pick your favorite color>.
The problem is that the current regression reporting tools don't count warnings (previous version use to), so there's nothing nagging developers about warnings introduced in their code.
If you treat warnings as errors
Fine we me, but not necessary fine with everybody ;-). And I suspect Boost.Build's warnings-as-errors=on work only with few compilers. But few is better than none.
and if bjam has an option to "keep going" as much as possible,
It has, and it's the default. - Volodya
