Hi Mark,

thanks to report those problems.
Some comments:

gdb/rs6000-tdep.c: is already fixed in the upstream, so I can merge it back
soon

gdb/compile/compile-loc2c.c: initializing uoffset to zero would silent the
warning, but I'm not sure if it's correct; I guess that the correct behavior is
granted by well formed dwarf expressions.

gdb/xcoffread.c: a solution here is hard to find; the uninitialized path should
happen only with malformed xcoff, so read_xcoff_symtab() run without issues
with well formed xcoff.

Soon I'll provide a patch to fix the first two warnings; the last one require a
feedback from gdb's people.
