So long as any warnings remain, would you please repost the list from time
to time?  There's no need to group them by file.

These are often a PITA to fix:  gcc does brain-dead flow analysis, and this
particular msg is almost always bogus as a result.  There are several open
bugs filed against gcc on this (I know because one of them is mine <wink>).
The others look straightforward to fix (on a first scan).
