Marking the function as __always_inline avoids the problem, as it
lets the compiler see the issue, but seems to produce somewhat
worse object code.

I also tested with clang-11, which supports both -fsanitize-bounds
and -fprofile-arcs but only needs 8 bytes of stack for this function.

One more data point, I looked at the actual object code and found
that neither -fprofile-arcs  nor -fsanitize-bounds has a noticeable
impact on the object code output by themselves (aside of not
leading to the warning as you already mentioned). I would
conclude that there is an actual problem with gcc here.
