Apparently, gcc 10.2 thinks that it's possible for either of the calloc
arguments to be zero here, in which case it will return NULL with a zero
errno.  I suppose it's possible to do that via integer overflow in the
macro, though I find it unlikely unless someone passes in a yuuuge value.

Nevertheless, just shut up the warning by hardcoding the error number
so I can move on to nastier bugs.
