Those actual warnings are basically spurious, ignore them. 

But, I know that your particular compiler, given as it is equivalent to
the RHEL-5 gcc, actually probably *does* has a bug with visibility which
IIRC may cause OOo to crash when it loads some old .sdw files, the
workaround it to disable visibility or to apply the
openoffice.org.2.0.3-dangerousvisibility.patch patch found in the
RHEL-4/CentOS openoffice.org src.rpm. It's pretty uncommon, but it can
happen. If you are just building OOo for hacking around with, then I
wouldn't bother changing your compiler for it.

I don't think I've met a compiler yet that doesn't have *some* bug that
has affected openoffice.org in some way:-), but I'm pretty happy with
gcc 4.3.0/4.3.1 whose only known bug that has affected me is with
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables on i386 which isn't enabled by default on
that architecture anyway.
