FWIW, testing on ARM with gcc-6.0 -O3, I also get tons of maybe-uninitialized
warnings. It's unlikely that this is architecture specific or fixed in newer
compiler versions.

Yes, that seems ok.

I don't really understand why -O3 is needed though, maybe it's better to
assume that it won't be needed in future gcc versions and do

ARCH_CFLAGS += $(call cc-ifversion, -lt, 0408, -O3 $(call cc-disable-warning,maybe-uninitialized,))
