But sufficiently good analysis tool must be able to figure that out.
Initially ecies = NULL and ecie_count = 0 (var initialization at their
respective definitions).  The only place where ecie_count is increased
is after ecies = bfd_realloc () succeeded, at which point ecies != NULL.

So I'm not really sure we should work around Coverity inefficiencies.

You need to take the reported issues with a grain of salt, they show where
a problem might be.  You then analyze the thing and either assess there is
no problem and ideally report that to the provider of the tool, so that
they can improve it, or fix the problem.
