Seriously, I never looked into it ever since.

AFAIR all the warnings are about things where GCC's code flow analysis
is unable to realize that a variable is actually only be used after a
correct assignment, but this isn't really obvious.  Of course, adding
initializers would silence these, but it would simply add code that is
not really useful.
