The second part of the patch is solved by its own basic
block because it is inside a preprocessor conditional.
Bringing the declaration of the var to the top of the
function would require that also being given its own
preprocessor conditional, or a (void)var to avoid an
unused var warning. The basic block is no worse than
those imho.
