I'm happy to mark the false positives in Coverity but I only ran this
because they forced me to update the client side program and I
wanted to make sure all my run coverity scripts continued to work
with it. Normally this one isn't run on a regular basis.

Is Cygwin still running Scan on newlib? I stopped because the
focus was supposed to be on their run not on the RTEMS one.

I can easily uncomment the one line to run it via cron. I have a script
that can check for changes in git and run coverity if needed.

Basically, where's the "official" Scan instance that we all should
be referring to?
