This wasn't handled very nicely, there is that, but there is an actual point in making warnings errors and forcing anybody compiling to willingly change configure settings to avoid the build failure: we don't forget that there is work that needs to be done. I actually did the porting in Ubuntu. The patch probably doesn't apply quite as cleanly on git master; but see the attached file which migrates the calls to gtk_table_* to gtk_grid_*.
