Note: (a) the warnings are bug 23266, (b) we now have alternative 
candidate patches, as there's 
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-04/msg00209.html> as well, (c) 
as I said in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-03/msg00532.html> 
it would be a very good idea to add a --enable-obsolete-rpc 
--enable-obsolete-nsl configuration to build-many-glibcs.py so issues 
building such a configuration with new GCC get detected and fixed quicker.
