I think more production systems will have CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS enabled
(e.g. Ubuntu has had it enabled for more than a year now) than GCOV,
so I'd prefer we maintain all*config coverage for the more commonly
used config.

Alternatively, how about falling back to -fsanitize=bounds instead, as
that (which has less coverage) wasn't triggering the stack frame
warnings?

i.e. fall back through these:
	-fsanitize=array-bounds (Clang)
	-fsanitize=bounds-strict (!GCOV || bug fixed in GCC)
	-fsanitize=bounds
