That has to be gcc 4.5.x something. 4.6 is smarter in that aspect:

$ make CC=gcc-4.6 kernel/trace/trace.o
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  UPD     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  UPD     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CC      kernel/bounds.s

  ...

  HOSTLD  scripts/mod/modpost
  CC      kernel/trace/trace.o
$ make CC=gcc-4.5 kernel/trace/trace.o
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CC      kernel/bounds.s

  ...

  HOSTLD  scripts/mod/modpost
  CC      kernel/trace/trace.o
kernel/trace/trace.c: In function âtracing_mark_writeâ:
kernel/trace/trace.c:3644:8: warning: âpage2â may be used uninitialized in this function
