If somebody were running a buildfarm member with recent gcc
and -Werror, we'd pretty much have to fix it.
I'd say the real policy is that we don't worry about
uninitialized-variable warnings from old compiler versions,
on the theory that they're probably compiler shortcomings.
But I'd be inclined to fix anything from a current gcc version.
