That's what I'd expect: 10 didn't have variable range tracking wired up to -Warray-bounds, 11 does, and we disable -Warray-bounds on 12 because of 3 separate 12-only GCC bugs.

Sure? But that'll just hide it. I suspect GCC has found a way for dst.nr_bitmap to be compile-time 27, so the size is always negative.
