gcc erroneously warns about assignment of 0 to a pointer
when the 0 is buried in a comma expression; e.g., in
lines 4 & 8 below.

% cat bug.c
struct foo *x;
struct foo *a(n) {
        x = 0;
        x = (u(),0);
        if (n)
                return (0);
        else
                return (u(),0);
}
