I'm commenting for a second time here because the underlying bug seems
to break the building of OVMF:
[edk2-devel] ovmf build fail with gcc 4.8.5
When you commit the patch, please add the following to the commit message:
Fixes: b3527dedc3951f061c5a73cb4fb2b0f95f47e08b
(Because the invalid access was apparently introduced in that commit. I
did regression-test b3527dedc395, but I didn't get the warning.)
Thanks
Laszlo
