While developing a C++ application, I had to use a 3rd party library which produced a huge amount of warnings related with a harmless #pragma directive being used.

../File.hpp:1: warning: ignoring #pragma ident
In file included from ../File2.hpp:47,
                 from ../File3.hpp:57,
                 from File4.h:49,

Is it possible to disable this kind of warnings, when using the GNU C++ compiler?

I believe you can compile with 

-Wno-unknown-pragmas

to suppress these.
