pread() tests fail with GCC 12 and 13

[CamStan]

When updated our Github Actions CI, I added GCC 12 and 13 (both using Ubuntu 24.04) and the pread() tests started failing, while still passing for GCC 9, 10, and 11.

The tests are here:

UnifyFS/t/sys/write-read.c

Lines 322 to 338 in c44d052

	/* Read data from file, starting at size 1 KiB, up to full file size */
	errno = 0;
	buf = malloc(global);
	err = errno;
	ok(NULL != buf,
	"%s:%d malloc(%zu) read buffer succeeds (errno=%d): %s",
	__FILE__, __LINE__, global, err, strerror(err));
	if (NULL != buf) {
	for (size_t sz = 1024; sz <= global; sz *= 2) {
	errno = 0;
	szrc = pread(fd, buf, sz, 0);
	err = errno;
	ok(szrc == sz && err == 0,
	"%s:%d pread(fd=%d, sz=%zu) rc=%zd: %s",
	__FILE__, __LINE__, fd, sz, szrc, strerror(err));
	}
	free(buf);

Below are the results.

GCC 12
