Thanks for the patch, Arnaldo.

This patch looks good to me.  But I cannot reproduce the build failure,
if without CORESIGHT=1 I still don't see the build failure.

I think we should apply below code as well, if COMPAT_NEED_REALLOCARRAY
is enabled for AUXTRACE, it will be applied for cs-etm as well.  For
this reason, we can remove the redundant definition for CORESIGHT.
