We couldn't fix the warning with your patch. the patch below fixes it instead.
IMHO, gcc can't seems to know that do_alignment_ldmstm never returns TYPE_LDST.
So It just warn that do_alignment_finish_ldst is called with the
uninitialized value.
I know gcc is not smart enough to see all the reasons. So, It is optional.
Also, I'm not sure these optional warning should be fixed.
Anyway, this is the last build warning in our whole source when using gcc-4.6.3
Thanks
