I guess that always works as a last resort, but shouldn't we first try
to figure out why ubsan even makes a difference and whether the
object code without ubsan looks like a reasonable representation
of the source form?

Since it really is a fairly simple transformation, I would have
expected the compiler to not emit any ubsan checks. If gcc
only gets confused about the fixed offsets possibly overflowing
the fixed-length array, maybe it helps to give it a little extra
information like (untested):
