Right, it was a few hundred randconfigs later after I had confirmed
that the first patch fixed all the configurations that were broken
at first.

Ok, thanks! Let's hope it doesn't come back once more.

I'm still trying to categorize the newly added warnings in gcc-7,
there a number of very useful warnings that got added, but some of
them are rather noisy and find both a number of real bugs and
false positives. The NULL check had only a few findings that all
seemed worth fixing.
