Chad,
I am just a lowly user, but here is my 2-cents:
I run Slackware Linux, so I download the source and build my own 
Slackware installation package.  Whatever was done in the past has 
worked fine for me.  I have had no problems building the 1.8.2 version 
from source.  I do rebuild .rpm packages for some apps, such as 
LibreOffice and Slackware has an rpm extractor (rpm2cpio) that works for 
them, but I prefer to build from source to make sure all the 
dependencies are correct.

Not that I have seen them in gEDA, but compile warnings make me 
nervous.  There is no reason they cannot and should not be fixed. It's a 
sign of lack of quality.
Compile errors are fatal frustrations.

Thanks and good luck.
Girvin Herr
