When building with sanitizers on Fedora we get a wierd error
message

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

The code is correct, and this only happens when building at -O2.

The docs for -Warray-bounds say that a value of "2" is known to
be liable to generate false positives. Rather than downgrade the
check everywhere, we do it selectively for sanitizers.
