Yup! :)

I'll take a look; thanks! Should I send them back as a pull request?

Yeah. Happily, this has already been solved, but it looks like David didn't do a pull yet for it?

For gcc's UBSAN_SHIFT (I typoed this in my first reply) bug, netdev has been moving it to W=1 builds on a per-source basis for the moment:

Perhaps these could be even more carefully limited to GCC 12 only, using the Kconfig you suggested?
