When JDK-8074859 (Turn on warnings as error) was introduced, this library needed special treatment. Since not all warnings were fixed or could be disabled, this library was given an exemption from the warnings-as-errors behavior.

The exemption is implemented by the addition of the line
  WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS_gcc := false, \
to make/lib/Awt2dLibraries.gmk for libawt_xawt.

Please fix the warnings and remove the exemption for this library.

This library also has additional warnings disabled, see JDK-8074824. It might make sense to fix these in tandem. But note that fixing the warnings that block warnings-as-errors for this libary is more urgent, since it has the potential to hide future warnings.
