4 years ago I noticed the warnings while compiling TexStudio too and was planning to cleanup them for a while but did not have the time to provide a proper patch.
The warnings in scriptengine.cpp are caused by the fact the we cast functions that receive references as parameters to functions that receive pointers as parameters. This sort of works because most (probably all) C++ compilers internally implement references as pointers, but nothing guarantees that behavior, so if the compiler changes the implementation the scriptengine code may start crashing.
So even though it is not a problem at the moment, I guess it is better to fix those warnings. Using a reinterpret cast to remove the warnings is not a good approach since it doesn't fix the real problem that would be a crash if the compiler changes the internal implementation.
Unless someone else plans to fix the scriptengine warnings I will try to prepare a patch in about a week.
The linker warnings seem to be caused by the fact that it finds 32-bit libraries before it finds the correct 64-bit libraries. Since the incorrect 32-bit libraries are ignored the warnings are harmless. It is not good to silence them since we don't want to ignore real issues. Probably could be fixed in the makefile by changing the linker search path, but should be done carefully in order to avoid breaking the build.

During TXS' compilation, run by
sh BUILD.sh, some warnings appear (not translated, I hope it will be understandable):and
Nevertheless, TXS is built but, when open afterwards, several failed tests appear:
