Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.6-4
Severity: wishlist
abort, err, and exit are all __noreturn__, but error() is not; this
can cause lots of "may be used uninit" warnings. Please consider
adding the attribute.

On second thought, don't do that. error doesn't exit if the first
parameter is zero, and this may need to be evaluated at runtime.
