The analysis is done over SSA names. The variable name is taken from
SSA_NAME_VAR, which is a _DECL that had been gathered during the initial
into SSA phase (find_referenced_vars and rewrite_into_ssa).
I'd say the FE is not setting the name properly into whatever _DECL we
found.
Set a breakpoint at the end of tree-ssa.c:warn_uninit to examine the
_DECL node.
