You will have to look at the GIMPLE or assembler to determine if the 
warning is bogus after GCC has processed the setjmp call.  It may very 
well be the case that after those transformations, there *is* an 
uninitialized use of portloc.

Suppressing the warning could be the wrong thing to do here.  You may 
have to declare portloc itself volatile.

Thanks a lot for all these Hurd changes, by the way.  I really 
appreciate your work.

Thanks,
