this is not a bug.

valgrind is not aware of dynamic linker internals,
you have to use a musl specific suppression file
to hide this message (but i dont know if anybody
wrote such thing for valgrind).

there is a corruption, but it is not caused by
reclaim gaps, removing it just hides the problem
(becaues then early mallocs happen to go elsewhere
where they are not corrupted).

needs more investigation.
