Thanks for doing so. I got a look at the emacs git, and found your patch
to backport to emacs-24. However as said on the wiki [1], it is also
necessary to compile src/gmalloc.c with -ffreestanding. I have done that
and it indeed works fine. I have found it is necessary to do so starting
with GCC 5, however I haven't found any corresponding in the emacs git.
Do you have any pointer to an upstream patch?
