i cannot tell about the 'function body not available' but some
'uninitialized' errors only come out because the compiler is not
smart enough in the analysis of execution paths. Sometimes this also
depends on the -O level used in compilation.
So technically they are not bugs in the code, though of course it
is a good idea to rewrite the source to be compatible with dumber
compilers.
