I don't see this with GCC 6.2 but the change is not a problem so I applied it.

I imagine it's gcc-4.7 giving me this:

job.c: In function ‘child_execute_job’:
job.c:2126:7: error: variable ‘fdin’ might be clobbered by ‘longjmp’ or ‘vfork’ [-Werror=clobbered]

... which goes away with this harmless-looking change:

martind@swiftboat:~/download/make-git$ git diff
diff --git a/job.c b/job.c
index 7d900ce..1b28324 100644
