It's probably not the version of the gcc you used, but whether or not
your CFLAGS include -O2. Gcc has the (IMO very annoying) limitation
that uninitialized-use analysis can only be performed if you are also
doing optimization. You have to use a tool like clang or Coverity if
you want more reliable uninitialized-use analysis even while building
-O0 debug images.
