note that valgrind cannot emulate 80bit long double arithmetics
(uses 64bit arithmetics instead) which breaks floating-point
printf and strtod functions in musl (and most math code on x86
take slightly different code paths, some break badly)
so valgrind has issues with floating-point code and there were
limitations with threading as well
if the address sanitizer support works in gcc or clang that
might be a better option for catching memory errors
