I'm not too worried about that - clang with
  -std=c89 -Wc99-extensions -Werror=c99-extensions
as it's running on mylodon for the older branches seems to do a decent
job. And is obviously much faster :)

Cool.

I.e. forgetting to initialize them? Or the weird alignment stuff it has?

I'd started to work a patch to detect missing initialization for both
spinlocks and lwlocks, I think that'd be good to have for more common cases.
