Out of curiosity I tried a build with -Wshadow.  That gives more than
500 errors.  Unfortunately a lot of them (IMO) are somewhat bogus :(,
e.g., a warn about a local named "index" clashing with the global
function of the same name.

We do seem to have an uncommonly large number of local declarations
shadowing other locals though, e.g.:

../../src/gdb/osdata.c:331: error: declaration of ‘old_chain’ shadows a previous local
../../src/gdb/osdata.c:286: error: shadowed declaration is here
