Miscellaneous warning messages

ENVIRONMENT:
compiler: gcc-2.8.1 (c and c++ only)
make: 3.78.1
bison: 1.28
libs: libg++-2.8.1.1a, libstdc++-2.8.1

DESCRIPTION:
I'm trying to compile gcc-2.95.2 and I am receive some warning messages. In version 2.8.1 there was text document that explained which warnings could safely be ignored. However, I was unable to find this information in any file in the gcc-2.95.2 distribution.

I configured with:

        configure --enable-languages=c,c++
        make bootstrap LANGUAGES="c c++"

I guess the question is: Can these warnings be safely ingnored?
