It might be some check-for-builtins check gone wrong if it enables any one of the sanitizers. That would be confirmed if it works with UBSAN_SANITIZE_kcov.o := n > We could change the signature to long, but it feels wrong/dangerous > because the variable should really be 64-bits (long is broken on > 32-bits). > Or we could introduce a typedef that is long on 64-bits and 'long > long' on 32-bits.
