With the way how Meson handles buildtype=plain and warning_level it is
expected to see the warning.

They check the existence of these flags and print a warning regardless
of the used buildtype but as explained in the commit message Meson
ignores warning_level if buildtype=plain and doesn't add these flags
even if warning_level is set. It is inconsistent behavior in Meson and
it should be somehow fixed.
