This change leads to the below on macOS 10.13, using Apple LLVM
version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.10.44.4):

emacs.c:899:7: warning: variable 'bufsize' is used uninitialized
whenever 'if' condition is true [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
  if (!(emacs_executable && *emacs_executable))
      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
emacs.c:964:7: note: uninitialized use occurs here
  if (bufsize < needed)
      ^~~~~~~
emacs.c:899:3: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false
  if (!(emacs_executable && *emacs_executable))
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
emacs.c:928:3: note: variable 'bufsize' is declared here
  ptrdiff_t bufsize = exenamelen + strlen (suffix) + 1;
