It's always a question how to "fix" such a problem.
The first option is to assign some "reasonable" value.  Like your patch.
The second option is to use uninitialized_var().
The last option is to ignore it.  It's gcc to blame.

I don't mind too much about such a trivial thing, so I just took your
patch now.


thanks,

Takashi
