I suggest not doing this. It seems the warning is valid so you should fix
the issue, not silence the warning.

FILES_${PN}-dev += "${libdir}/libaws-cpp-sdk-core.so

${PN}-dev should _not_ contain so files (in your special case). The issue
is that the default value contains "${libdir}/lib*.so" already (it's not
quite so simple but see meta/conf/bitbake.conf for details if interested).
You should be able to just redefine the variable completely:
    FILES_${PN}-dev = "${includedir}"

This looks correct to me.
