[Bug c/28859] New: GCC calls malloc from within signal context

[rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org]

If running gcc with glibc malloc checking turned on (MALLOC_CHECK_=2), on heap
corruption the SIGABRT raised by glibc will cause gcc to deadlock because it
calls async-singal-unsafe malloc () from the signal context to do the
diagnostic.
