This can be fixed by a sed:

crypto/rand/rand_lib.c
@@ -235,8 +235,9 @@ size_t rand_drbg_get_nonce(RAND_DRBG *drbg,
    struct {
        void * instance;
        int count;
-   } data = { NULL, 0 };
+   } data;

+   memset(&data, 0, sizeof(data));
    pool = rand_pool_new(0, min_len, max_len);
    if (pool == NULL)
        return 0;
