Sounds okay.

Known, suspceted harmless, maybe bogus (I tried adding parentheses
but couldn't make it (gcc) happy...)

Hmm, I wonder why no other gccs seem to care? What's the version of gcc?

Ditto, why other gccs don't pick this up? I can mark those variables
as volatile to make gcc happier, but it would be nice to know why
the Mac OS X gcc feels more strongly than others?

Ouch. This definitely isn't "some irrelevant (test) failure".
Could you:
rm -f config.sh
sh Configure -des -Dusedevel -Doptimize=-g
make miniperl
gdb ./miniperl
(gdb) run
(gdb) where
