Without being an expert, my experience is that downgrading anything 
related to libc means to downgrade the whole system or building a lot of 
packages from scratch. I imagine that a similar situation arises with 
GCC.

Also, sometimes, warnings are innocuous (you can disregard them). In 
your case, I would try to compile and see if it works.
