Is this a problem: Warning: Initializing RegisterImpl& to a NULL value.

While building the solaris_sparc_compiler1 build (product or fastdebug)
on a new fclone from the hotspot-gc-hs repos, I get
Compiling /net/analemma.SFBay/export/pbk/Workspaces/build/objArray-4396719-work/src/cpu/sparc/vm/sharedRuntime_sparc.cpp
"..../src/cpu/sparc/vm/sharedRuntime_sparc.cpp", line 2724: Warning: Initializing RegisterImpl& to a NULL value.
1 Warning(s) detected.
The builds continue, and the resulting VM seems to work.
The code in question is
/* 2534 */ nmethod *SharedRuntime::generate_dtrace_nmethod(
MacroAssembler *masm, methodHandle method) {
....
/* 2723 */ VMRegPair zero;
/* 2724 */ zero.set2(G0->as_VMReg());
A) I thought we wrote code that compiled without warnings.
B) I thought code that generated warnings caused the build to fail.
Should I worry about this exception?
