Bootstrap-O3 complains about uninitialized uses of this variable in
gengtype-state.c.  The variable can never actually be used before
initialization, but GCC is not smart enough to realize that.
read_state_structures, just before the function at hand, has a similar
loop and it zero-initializes both head and previous, so I adjusted the
affected function to follow the same pattern and avoid the bogus
warning.  Regstrapped on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-pc-linux-gnu.  Ok to
install?

Ok. Alternatively you could fix the warning and shorten the code using
the pprev trick.

Alexandre,
    Since your original patch was approved, are you checking in
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-05/msg02304.html? Currently the
-O3 bootstrap is still broken without it.

This one was already installed, but there's another problem that
prevents -O3 bootstrap still pending review.
