I'm afraid this is an unrealistic expectation.
It is certainly desirable, but it is almost impossible in practice.
Even Emacs itself does not self-compile without warnings.
It is even more difficult for a package, which may want to support
multiple versions of Emacs.
It is not a bug for there to be compiler warnings, so as a general rule
I ask you please not to report warnings as bugs, unless you have some
other evidence that there is a bug.
In general a warnings is just that - a warning, not an error.

That may be a real issue. I imagine it is due to multiple Org versions
being present.
