While this fixes the bug at hand, I think the root cause is that I
removed all the CFLAGS, assuming they were only relevant for the old
code and that lib.mk set sensible defaults (it doesn't), when in
fact most of it should've been retained, specifically:

CFLAGS += -O2 -g -Wall -I../../../../usr/include/

The -Wall turns up an uninitialised variable warning.
It is a false positive, but should be fixed regardless.

Any problems with me creating a series to do that, with the first patch
fixing the uninitialised variable and the second being this patch,
though with the full CFLAGS restored?

Cheers,
Kent.
