Unfortunately it seems line numbers are wrong (possibly after the "Too many #ifdef" messages) so it's hard to track.
Also, I checked most of the claimed "Buffer access out-of-bounds" and they are just false positives. Example:
memcpy(block, AFS_long_IV, 8);
Size of both are 8 so this is not out of bounds. But block is ARCH_WORD_32 so it seems Cppcheck tries to apply pointer arithmetic where it shouldn't. Same red herring in all cases I checked.
