All this sounds normal.

I think you may not be reading the message the same way I do. This just
says that in some future CUDA release, the code involved will no longer
be valid. We are aware of these issues, but warnings like the above are
not a reason for concern.

Indeed: only Cuda9.2 is compatible with gcc7. Once you go down the
rabbit hole of going back to earlier CUDA vesions, then you have to go
back to earlier gcc versions as well.
Please note: The fact that you were able to get rid of the above
warning means nothing: in earlier times, NVIDIA did not yet realize (at
least publically) that it was planning to deprecate some code in future
releases. Now, in more recent releases, it is providing warnings to
developers to give them time to adapt to what may happen. You are no
"safer" in having code compiled without this warning than with having
it.
The warnings have nothing to do with the version of gcc you are using.
...hope this helps....dac
