IIRC the reason is to test address 0 as it is effectively banned
for userspace so if it will be broken, it will be broken silently
for a long time.

As for "unmergeable" libc here doesn't map /dev/zero. I know how to
avoid even theoretical breakage by creating binaries by hand but it
will be probably too much.
