kerberos5 @1.13 10.4 build failure unititialised object

[geoffd2]

Upgrade build fails with error:

:info:build kcmrpc.c: In function 'k5_kcmrpc_call':
:info:build kcmrpc.c:539: error: 'Out1P' may be used uninitialized in this function

Indeed in that function:

Request *InP = &Mess.In;
   538          Reply *Out0P = &Mess.Out;
   539          Reply *Out1P;
...
   608  #if     defined(__MIG_check__Reply__call_t__defined)
   609          check_result = __MIG_check__Reply__call_t((__Reply__call_t *)Out0P, (__Reply__call_t **)&Out1P);

Right - that info is in the Guidelines for the 'Assign' box, but I didn't read it because I can't assign the ticket :( it should probably be in the 'Cc' guidelines as well.

Note that the above is with gcc-42 ( with gcc-4.0 it skates over the k5_kcmrpc_call issue with a warning, but fails with #46701 )

It seems that kcmrpc.c doesn't exist at config time, but is generated at build time. Possibly by this command:

mig -header kcmrpc.h -user kcmrpc.c -sheader /dev/null -server /dev/null -I. ./kcmrpc.defs

But since I don't know how mig works, that leaves me at a loss as to where the code-to-be-edited is.
