FWIW, I can reproduce it with an unpatched 5.14.3 on current sid i386
(a personality=linux32 chroot on an amd64 kernel to be precise).  

I copied config.over from the Debian package and then called its
'config.debian --static'.  I haven't bisected which Configure options
actually count.

My guess is it's just going out of memory but doesn't handle it too
gracefully.

Core was generated by `./perl -e print "x"x(2**31)'.
