This is also on 6.1.1 for ARM. Note that 6e8d666e9253 ("Disable
"maybe-uninitialized" warning globally") turned off those warnings, so
unless you explicitly pass -Wmaybe-uninitialized (e.g. by building with
"make W=1"), you won't get it.

The reason I'm still sending the patches for this warning is that
we do get a number of valid ones (this was the only false positive
out of the seven such warnings since last week).
