Assuming I want to build JDK 8/9/10/11 (for research and spelunking purposes), 
what's the best way to do that if the changes aren't going to be backported? 
Turn off the warnings-as-errors (and what's the best way to do that), or 
somehow downgrade glibc (on my Ubuntu 18 image)? I could use advice/assistance 
on either approach.

The changes for JDK-8202353, JDK-8202794, and JDK-8207340 are in jdk/jdk for 
JDK 12. There are few residual issues/inconsistencies that came up and are 
still under discussion on the mailing lists. I don't think there has been any 
discussion yet about back porting.
