These seem to be largely caused by building with gcc-6. It's probably a good idea to keep supporting that configuration though and backport the fixes. Here are the upstream commit IDs I've found.
That's a lot of noise. I'll move back to build with gcc 4.9.2 instead, for now.
It's not entirely reasonable to expect older releases to build with new toolchains without warnings, and I'm not sure if it makes sense to bring back those fixes to -stable (unless they fix real bugs, of course).
