Redefining __DATE__ produces a similar warning:
<command line>:12:1: warning: "__DATE__" redefined

AFAIK the only way to do this while avoiding warning entirely would be to
edit the source code directly to remove reference to __DATE__, but this
would involve either taking named.c off the vendor branch or convincing
the authors of BIND to adopt the change.
