Okay, I did hack the NEW macro to:

 #define NEW(p) ((p)= xcalloc(1, (long)sizeof *(p)))

This means that it's probably a good idea to use this idiom when
constructing new objects:

   Object_T x;

   NEW(x);

Instead of as we did before 

   Object_T x= NEW(x);

Alltough I did not get a warning with gcc 2.96 nor with gcc 3.3. (
Anyway I think something is very strange with RH 9.0.)

BTW the reason I changed the NEW macro was so we could easily write
stuff like this:

func foo(param bar) {

 Object_T x;
 
 ASSERT(bar);

 NEW(x);
