[..]

This seems to be a compiler bug/configuration issue.

When I remove the entry for SKB_EXT_MCTP from skb_ext_type_len then the
error goes away. However this entry works the same as all other entries.

Also dropping -fno-tree-loop-im *or* -fprofile-arcs from CFLAGS_GCOV
makes the code compile as-is.

Or switching to a 64bit build...
