Subject: TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING breaks gcc warnings

With TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING enabled you get "dummy may be used
uninitialised" with code like the following (and gcc 4.3.3):

void *dummy, *c;

if (a && (dummy = b()))
	c = dummy;

Therefore, allyesconfig has become useless for looking at warnings.

:(
