 You could try building wxMotif or wxX11, it should still have X11/Motif
headers and libraries I think.

 Yes, it's indeed very strange.

 You'd still get plenty of these warnings from other places in the code
IIRC. So we probably have to test the compiler version. Could you please
give the values of _SGI_COMPILER_VERSION for 7.4.4 and the version which
you normally use?
