--- Comment #1 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
This is due to a limitation of the compute_builtin_object_size function in
tree-object-size.c.  The function only computes the sizes of dynamically
allocated objects that have been explicitly passed to the __builtin_object_size
intrinsic.

Let me look into removing the limitation and having the function handle
dynamically allocated objects even if they're not passed to the built-in.
