With this commit the nolibc testsuite for 32bit on QEMU 10.1.0 starts to
reliably crash. 64bit is fine. Actually I encountered the same problem
before this change, but it happened much less frequently.
Output below for a testrun that never got to print anything to stdout,
but the crashes can also happen later or sometimes not at all.

You can run the testuite for yourself:
(run-tests.sh will download a cross toolchain)

$ cd tools/testing/selftests/nolibc
$ ./run-tests.sh -p s390
(Expected output, lower numbers mean failures)
s390:          228 test(s): 227 passed,   1 skipped,   0 failed => status: warning

The full test output will be in run.out.

This doesn't feel like an issue in nolibc to me.
Any ideas?
