Right ok, this explains MacOS X too, the common denominator being clang.

e uninitialized is technically not a problem here, because the actual value of
e is supposed to cancel out. Unfortunately it seems like clang "optimizes" this
code into garbage.

However, initializing it to NULL won't cause any damage; the optimizer will end
up seeing the cancellation at a later stage and should be able to remove the
assignment.

All this because standard C doesn't have typeof(), and offsetof() requires a
type :-/
