I hit this independently in Gentoo (https://bugs.gentoo.org/847280) but the GCC folks hit this (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104964) and concluded it's an ACL bug, not a GCC one.

acl fails when built with GCC 12 (gcc (Gentoo Hardened 12.1.1_p20220521 p5) 12.1.1 20220521 here) and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3. In my case, it crashed systemd-tmpfiles first, as it's linked against libacl:
```
# systemd-tmpfiles --create
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/dbus.conf:13: Line references path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/dbus/containers → /run/dbus/containers; please update the tmpfiles.d/ drop-in file accordingly.
* buffer overflow detected *: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)
```

For completeness, here's the backtrace:
```
Core was generated by `systemd-tmpfiles --create'.
Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

The important quote is from Siddhesh [0]:
"""
OK, closing this as WONTFIX then.  __bos/__bdos has limited support for zero sized arrays; they are not recognized as flex arrays when in nested structs.  Fixing up the struct to one with a proper flex array (i.e. without a dimension size, which also will need another member preceding it) should make this work correctly.  Something like:

struct __string_ext
{
  char pad;
  char s_str[];
};
