I asume your temp hack of Configure caused it to no longer use the
-fstack-protector-strong switch? Because there's no mention of that switch
in any of your attached log files.

A quick look at a few of the other warnings and they seem to be related to
you using a 32-platform, which probably explains why I wasn't seeing the
warnings on my 64-bit system.

I'll have a closer look at fixing some of these once 5.22 is out.
