Do you have an actual path through the function that can result in it 
being used uninitialized, and where a value of 0 is correct?

My understanding, as described in 
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-11/msg00693.html>, was that 
this is a false positive warning - the variable is never actually used 
uninitialized, but determining that requires considering the values other 
variables can have on the paths leading to resplen being used.  And since 
we don't want to add initializations (to installed code as opposed to 
testcases) that actually require code to be generated simply in order to 
avoid warnings, that may indicate disabling -Wmaybe-uninitialized around 
the code that generates the warning.
