How do you disable the unused variable warnings coming out of GCC in third-party code I do not wish to edit?

I'd like to know what switch you pass to the GCC compiler to turn off unused variable warnings? I'm getting errors out of Boost on Windows, and I do not want to touch the Boost code:

C:\boost_1_52_0/boost/system/error_code.hpp: At global scope:
C:\boost_1_52_0/boost/system/error_code.hpp:214:36: error: 'boost::system::posix_category' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-variable]
C:\boost_1_52_0/boost/system/error_code.hpp:215:36: error: 'boost::system::errno_ecat' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-variable]
C:\boost_1_52_0/boost/system/error_code.hpp:216:36: error: 'boost::system::native_ecat' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-variable]

I tried using both -Wunused-value and -Wno-unused-value, but neither suppressed the messages above.

What is the right command? Here is my compile line:

g++  -g -fno-inline -Wall -Werror -Wextra -Wfloat-equal -Wshadow
-Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wno-conversion
-Wdisabled-optimization -Wredundant-decls -Wunused-value -Wno-deprecated
-IC:\\boost_1_52_0 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
-c -o op.o op.cpp

Perhaps the -Wall overrides my goal?
