Oh it's not hard, it's just tedious.
Did you know that if you disable optimizations you can get _more_ warnings?
_disabling_ the gcse optimization triggered one of those "may be used
uninitialized but is a false positive 99% of the time" which in this case,
turned out to have a path that could trigger in a function I added last week,
which which was called in an else case 5 lines down. (Yes, when it DIDN'T
segfault, it gave me the warning.)
It's indeed a pity. I looked into each and every one of them when I could
still compile the kernel with gcc 4.1, to find the few cases that were real
bugs...

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
