Yes.  And I think it can be implemented incrementally.

So for this, I have right now 2 variant patches:

The first one keeps doing what we were except for the
-fsanitize=pointer-overflow case and has been bootstrap-ubsan
bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux.

The second one performs the addition and comparison in pointer sized
unsigned type instead (not bootstrapped yet).

I think the second one would be my preference.  Note build_range_check
is used not just during early folding, but e.g. during ifcombine, reassoc
etc.

Martin is contemplating instrumentation of pointer <=/</>=/> comparisons
and in that case we'd need some further build_range_check changes,
because while ptr == (void *) 0 || ptr == (void *) 1 || ptr == (void *) 2
would be without UB, ptr <= (void *) 2 would be UB, so we'd need to perform
all pointer range checks in integral type except the ones where we just do
EQ_EXPR/NE_EXPR.
