I do hope there will be an option with an alternative environment 
variable setting that will direct the warning to /dev/null ?

The credo of Cygwin, it seems to me, has always been:

Give Windoze users a shot at the richness and wisdom of GNU/UNIX without 
making their lives any more miserable than MBRH (Mr. Bill and the 
Redmond Hordes) has already done.
