Part of the problem with using an old version is that you will be missing bug fixes and also patches needed for compatibility with newer compiler versions. So you basically have to track down and fix problems like this on your own, though you can look through the mailing list archives or the change log to find the patches that fix these problems and try to apply them to the old code.
BTW, since you're rolling back to an old version anyway, you might as well clone the development repository rather than the stable one, so you have all the latest changes in your log.
