Does it prevent the code from compiling and executing correctly in a
Unix environment? If not, it has no effect on the backwards
compatibility of the compiler.
Those are the only two forms that all implementations of C and C++ are
required to accept, though they are allowed to accept additional
implementation-defined forms. Those statements have been true of both
languages for as long as they've been standardized.
This is only a warning - fully conforming implementations are allowed to
warn about anything they want, such as failing to use taboo words for
user-defined identifiers.
The warning is the default for C++, and is turned on by -Wall and
-Wpedantic for C, because it's a reasonable thing to warn about. But if
you disagree with that assessment, it can be turned off by -Wno-main
