That warning has been there forever with libc5.  f is most certainly 
not uninitialized -- it is an assignment for heavens sake that it is 
complaining about.  Ignore it -- it is a gcc 2.7.3 compiler problem.

Well.  I think this is part of your problem.  Take a careful look at
    http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb/busybox/Makefile?annotate=1.145
and compare it with your copy of Makefile.  My Makefile and the one
in cvs don't have utility.o on line 251.

I wonder if you might want to 'rm Makefile; cvs up Makefile' and
try again?  Perhaps something strange has happened.
