 I've tried to find proper gcc documentation clearly stating which
architectures TImode is available, but found none. There's old emails
discussing the possibility of implementing TImode to MIPS, but it's
not clear to me what's the current status is even supposed to be.

This warning is likely to follow from the error above, and not to be
separate issue.
