If your compiler is automatically searching the right system header
paths for the target, it's a non-issue. If not (if you have some
hacked-together setup) then you should use -isystem rather than -I for
the system header path.

The intent of style warning options (which this one is) is to warn
about issues in the code being compiled, where it does not meet the
policy set for the project being compiled. It's not to warn that libc
does not meet your project's arbitrary style policies. This one
happens to be turned on by -Wall I think, but there are lots of other
style-policy warning options the user could turn on which musl's
headers are cerainly not going to try to comply with, so the proper
solution is for the compiler not to apply the style policy to them.
