>Description:

The sparc testbed fails at the installation stage since this recent commit:

   2026.01.09.09.38.33 skrll src/libexec/ld.elf_so/xmalloc.c 1.17

Sysinst prints "Command ended on signal" both when it runs "certctl rehash"
and when it attempts to set the root password.

 This is not sparc specific, the change also makes ld.elf_so crash on
 evbarmv5 machines:


 [ 672904.7265927] data_abort_handler: data_aborts fsr=0x1 far=0xbbee62bc
 Bus error (core dumped)

 I guess the new imalloc() version does not enforce the minimum malloc alignment
 our gcc is configured for.
