Interestingly, -Wno-uninitialized has been in bsd.sys.mk since r76861,
and the accompanying comment ("XXX Delete -Wuninitialized by default for
now -- the compiler doesn't always get it right") has never been
changed. :-)
It is probably time to re-enable that warning after 13 years, at least.
I'm not so sure about -Wno-parentheses-equality, because that might give
quite a few false positives, especially in old, contributed code.
