I could reproduce it with -O3 on s390x. I have not tried it with other
architectures, but it is a generic problem with TEST_VERIFY_EXIT which
is not really related to the dynarray code. I propose the attached
patch to fix it.
Thanks,

support: Expose TEST_VERIFY_EXIT behavior to GCC optimizers
Previously, the implementation would conditionally exit based on the
status argument, which GCC did not know about. This leads to
false uninitialized variable warnings when data is accessed after a
TEST_VERIFY_EXIT failure (from code which would never execute).
2017-06-07 Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>
Expose TEST_VERIFY_EXIT process termination to GCC optimizers.
* support/support_test_verify_impl.c
(support_test_verify_exit_impl): Split from
support_test_verify_impl.
* support/check.h (TEST_VERIFY): Drop status argument from
support_test_verify_impl call.
(TEST_VERIFY_EXIT): Call support_test_verify_exit_impl.
(support_test_verify_impl): Remove status argument.
(support_test_verify_exit_impl): Declare.
