If 'length' is of type ptrdiff_t, is it ever possible to hit abort in:
if (length < - TYPE_MAXIMUM (ptrdiff_t)) abort ();

Unless length is TYPE_MINIMUM (ptrdiff_t) (but the length is never
supposed to be negative).

In that particular context, 'length' can be negative.
I don't think 'length' can be PTRDIFF_MIN there. The IF_LINT test
pacifies "gcc -O2 -Werror=strict-overflow". This warning flag is
problematic because it sometimes has false alarms (as
here) but it has found many bugs for me. Perhaps
I should give up on that warning flag, in which case the
IF_LINT test can be removed.
