Hi Andrew, thank you for the prompt investigation.
I'm probably just being dense, but how can the compiler ever generate code for
that null_ptr function that results in -1?

Your comment shows you know this already, but for others, here's a comment from
the sources in gnulib:

/* If you want to know why this always returns NULL, read
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_residue#Prime_power_modulus .  */

Note that at least some versions of canonicalize_file_name *can* take a NULL
argument, so the use of the nonnull attribute in that declaration is wrong.

I did notice that removing it in this reproducer and in the original makes the
problem go away.
