your version of GCC doesn't notice that one branch of the code will quit
the program using exit(3). It therefore thinks that it is possible that
those two variables are used without initialization afterwards.

I've fixed this in the Git repository [0] and will package an updated
version soon. Thanks for reporting this problem!

You need a couple more commands to generate the entire build system.
It's probably easiest to use "autoreconf -fi" which should do all that
needs to be done.
