Hi.

I just thought I'd let you know that I've done a crossbuild of
NetBSD-current for i386 under FreeBSD4 i386, and it seems like
I needed to make a couple hacks to make the compiler happy.

(I also crossbuilt for NetBSD-sparc -current, but I don't
remember having any problems.  Anyway, I think these hacks
were because of my i386 build.)

The right fixes may not be below.  They may lie elsewhere
(compiler, wherever).  This is just what I needed to do to
make the crossbuild complete, without knowing what I'm doing.
The source I used for this is a few weeks old, for whatever
it's worth.

Three source files appeared to give the compiler fits, claiming
a value was used uninitialized.  So, I did the following:

Apologies if this is a known issue and/or fixed already.  Me, I
blame the compiler.
