Thank you.
I don't know what's so special about my setup - I am getting the same
error with GCC 12 & 13 - compiling for both x86_64 & aarch64.
Compiler flags - nothing unusual - -O3 -flto - but maybe warnings are a
bit overzealous (-Wuninitialized -Wstack-protector).
I'll try producing a sample that reproduces this - and will use
suggested workaround in the meantime.

Hi Sergey,
Are you using some special compiler or linker parameters? Some special
compiler or linker versions?
I regularly test MHD with LTO. I've retested the current git master
with
LTO and cannot reproduce.
No errors, nor even warnings.
If you check the code you will find that both mentioned variables are
not used before initialisation. (Please provide the code path if I'm
wrong).
Unless variables are really used as uninitialised (which should be a
bug
and needs to be fixed), I'd avoid unneeded initialisation to save the
code size (and negligible performance).
If your compiler/linker complaint is false positive, you probably may
workaround it with '-ftrivial-auto-var-init' parameter.
Let me know the details, please.
