Patch now applied and committed. However, I did have to make a couple of
small changes:

1. My personal testing configuration contains -Wunused-variable; this
caused your tests to fail and therefore never set
HAVE_ATTRIBUTE_UNITIALIZED. Solved by adding "(void)buf;" to the test
code.

2. For CMake I added

#cmakedefine HAVE_ATTRIBUTE_UNINITIALIZED 1

to config-cmake.h.in. I did this when I was failing to get cmake to
notice clang, so perhaps it isn't necessary, but all the other macros
are listed there. (I finally figured out that I needed to delete all
CMake's files - then it realized I wanted clang.)

Thanks for doing this work. It will be in the forthcoming 10.35 release.
I don't think I'll need to put out another release candidate, but I'll
wait another week or two just in case anything more comes in.
