Comment (by mloskot):

 This is a well-known warning in Shapelib (so also in GDAL/OGR).

 The modern versions of GCC are getting stricter from version to version.
 It says it's a bad idea to ignore return value from any function which may
 fail in run-time, especially filesystem I/O calls. And it is a bad idea,
 but most of the legacy code base do not care about it. The only option
 here is to ignore it or submit patch to Shapelib.
