ROOT includes a compiler (Aclic) which issues some warnings when using C++11 features like auto and range-based for loops, but it compiles them fine.  Apparently if ROOT itself is configured to be built "with C++11", then these warnings are not issued.

You should file an enhancement ticket in our issue tracker for this, Cc'ing the root port's maintainer on it.
