Sorry, I missed your README. But a good number of years ago I was in
the compiler group for Red Hat and, if I haven't rusted out entirely,
I'll take a look at the bug. No guarantees...

Hi Chris,
this warning is haunting us for quite a while now.
I have written a *README-11-bogus-compiler-warnings* with work-arounds.
Unfortunately the loop below is not entirely bogus (what happens is
that for some r
the uninitialized value *other.rho[r] *is being copied to the
never-used value *rho[r]*).
Unfortunately the obvious fix for the warning has shown to cause
significant perfomance
impacts because it prevents loop unrolling (and there was a separate
trouble report
concerning that performance drop on bug-apl).
At that time I filed a gcc trouble report:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=94905
asking to fix this, but I am afraid that this may take some time.
My bug report was merged into a meta-bug which is open since 2005:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24639
Best Regards,
Jürgen

Just to finish the build, I patched around the bug by editing out the
Wall and the Werror in the Makefile, so:
