In fact, after inspecting more closely those uninitialized warnings
from gcc, they are bogus. The variables are properly initialized, it's
just gcc that goes nuts. So the proper fix is not to change the libnss
code, and your patches are most likely going to be rejected upstream
(with good reason).

So instead, I've dropped all of the patches, and simply passed
NSS_ENABLE_WERROR=0 for both the target and host builds. This way
-Werror is not passed, and those warnings become just warnings.

Applied with this change. Thanks!

Best regards,

Thomas
