Declaring char *last_failed_step; is reasonable because you can later
assign the function's return value to last_failed_step without
explicitly assigning an initial value.

Did you want to say something like "it is not necessary to initialize
last_failed_step to NULL, because it is never read before being
assigned a value" ?

Also, to my eyes, last_failed_step is redundant and can be dropped
from that function entirely.
