Ah yea thanks for bringing this up Jiri. I think you might be correct,
after doing some research it looks like the kernel enables -fno‑strict‑overflow 
which implies -fwrapv which leads to wrap around instead of UB If I undestand
correctly. So with that in mind this patch probably doesn't do anything
useful, do you agree?

Thanks
