OK, you've found a bug in the new code for avoiding multiple libc
instances getting loaded if it happens at program-load time rather
than via dlopen at runtime. The code that reclaims slack space at the
edges of the writable LOAD mapping for the newly loaded library runs
before checking if the library is a duplicate of libc. If it's found
to be a duplicate, it's unloaded, and the space that was just donated
to malloc is invalid.
The attached patch should correct the issue. Note that, in order for
it to help, the copy of musl that's in /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 needs
to be updated; it is the only one that is actually running/used. If
you really want the one in /tools to be used, your $CC or $LDFLAGS
needs to include -Wl,-dynamic-linker,/tools/lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 or
similar.
