Blah. Your message has:

Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=iso-2022-jp

This apparently is caused by a combination of GCC using groovy UTF tickmarks in its error messages when in a UTF locale and alpine believing it to be a great idea to automatically try for the "simplest" character set it can encode the content in. No idea why that means that iso-2022-jp is picked, but it is.

While I could actually read the message this time you should see what iso-2022-jp does to my font. It's scary. Best solution as far as I'm concerned is slap a few GCC developers (not that it wil help, but it'll certainly feel good) and then teach alpine to go for UTF-8 directly if US-ASCII won't do.

As to the content of this patch -- I'd almost say it's better to live with the warning than with that unitialized_var() thing. That ARRAY_SIZE is very much a compile time constant, so exactly how dumb must GCC get before we get to say to here and no further?
