Public bug reported:
The scotch autopkgtest is failing on ppc64el in kinetic because the
compiler is outputting a warning to stderr:

Reproducible when invoking gcc directly instead of via the mpicc
wrapper; also reproducible with gcc -O2 instead of gcc -O3.
This warning is patently nonsense. The size ranges listed is, in hex,
0xFFFFFFFF80000000-0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. We are not trying to memset an
object of that size, and at runtime there is no problem with the actual
behavior.
So something is wrong with gcc's calculation here, resulting in a
spurious warning.
This issue was not reproduced when the autopkgtest ran on ppc64el in
Debian. I don't know why, as the compiler should be essentially the
same between Debian and Ubuntu - and I've ruled out this being a problem
of the -O3 default that exists in Ubuntu packaging but not in Debian.
** Affects: gcc-11 (Ubuntu)
