Subject: Appears -fstack-protector-strong can cause the test-out-of-memory
 crashes

While updating Debian to 2.2.3 (and trying to get 2.2 building on all
the release architectures) I hit the previously reported
test-out-of-memory failure, or something similar.

I spent a while poking at it, and it looks like -fstack-protector-strong
can reliably cause the crash.

Additional details: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=+29464#11

Thanks

This appears to be fixed now.  After a successful make check with the
debian packaging of 3.0.10[1] on
https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi?host=perotto in a ppc64el chroot, I
ran that tree's test-out-of-memory in a loop for a while with no
crashes.

[1] Still specifies -fstack-protector-strong.
