As far as I see, the warning isn't coming "from system headers". The
header is only defining those constants, the user is the one who's
using that constant in an `int` context.
This isn't much different than the user trying to put `ULONG_MAX` into
an `char` for example. And I don't see how the compiler can "fix" it
unless you introduce some sort of "this constant is OK to be converted
to an int" attribute (which would still require musl having to put the
attribute in from their side).

My local ioctl(2) manpage says it's unsigned _long_ (not `int`).
