[BUG]: -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings in O3 optimization

[Sytoplis]

Required prerequisites

• Make sure you've read the documentation. Your issue may be addressed there.
• Search the issue tracker and Discussions to verify that this hasn't already been reported. +1 or comment there if it has.
• Consider asking first in the Gitter chat room or in a Discussion.

What version (or hash if on master) of pybind11 are you using?

3.0.4

Problem description

I get a lot of warnings, when compiling the example.cpp file found in the docs. I also put it below. Other than the warnings, it just compiles fine.
I am on Linux (fedora 44) using the pybind11 release 3.0.4
I first asked this in a Discussion, where i got asked to file a bug report. The Discussion is here.
I tried a few variations of the following command to compile:
gcc -O3 -Wall -shared -std=c++11 -fPIC $(python3-config --includes) -I "$PYBIND11_BASE/include" example.cpp -o "example$(python3-config --extension-suffix)"
I tried using -isystem instead of -I or using c++ or g++ instead of gcc, but the same warnings were always there.
The output i get from the compiler is the following:

From the Discussion i read that this should have been working in 3.0.1, but I didnt test that myself.
In the Discussion there was also a possible solution hypothesized, but i know the codebase too little to judge if that would actually work.
My g++ version is g++ (GCC) 16.1.1 20260515 (Red Hat 16.1.1-2)

Reproducible example code

#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>

namespace py = pybind11;

int add(int i, int j) {
    return i + j;
}

PYBIND11_MODULE(example, m, py::mod_gil_not_used()) {
    m.doc() = "pybind11 example plugin"; // optional module docstring

    m.def("add", &add, "A function that adds two numbers");
}

Is this a regression? Put the last known working version here if it is.

3.0.1
