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.

Is that still really needed with the emacs-25 branch? As Andreas notes, it has adifferent way of avoiding the calloc issue. What happens if you build theemacs-25 branch without using -ffreestanding?
