Um, how are you going to modify this server without knowing C? Anyway,
gets() reads in a string to a provided location in memory, with no
checking that there is enough room. Find out what size buffer is
provided, and replace the call to gets with a call to fgets, with the
file being stdin.
Making warnings non-fatal would require modifying the makefile, or maybe
passing some options to it. Or, there might be #pragmas in the source
files to control that.
