apparently this compile error will retain in the next release tarball.
It shouldn't do that. Have you tried building a tarball with 'make dist' and built from that with 'configure; make'? If that fails to build on your older platform, please report a problem; otherwise let's not worry about this.
In release tarballs, the problems you're describing should occur only if you configure with developer flags like './configure --enable-gcc-warnings'. These flags don't always work on every platform, but that's OK as they are intended for developers not builders.
