Blah. Your message has:

	Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=iso-2022-jp

This apparently is caused by a combination of GCC using groovy UTF tickmarks 
in its error messages when in a UTF locale and alpine believing it to be a 
great idea to automatically try for the "simplest" character set it can 
encode the content in. No idea why that means that iso-2022-jp is picked, 
but it is.

While I could actually read the message this time you should see what 
iso-2022-jp does to my font. It's scary. Best solution as far as I'm 
concerned is slap a few GCC developers (not that it wil help, but it'll 
certainly feel good) and then teach alpine to go for UTF-8 directly if 
US-ASCII won't do.

As to the content of this patch -- I'd almost say it's better to live with 
the warning than with that unitialized_var() thing. That ARRAY_SIZE is very 
much a compile time constant, so exactly how dumb must GCC get before we get 
to say to here and no further?
