Per malloc(3):
The UNIX 98 standard requires malloc(), calloc(), and realloc() to set
errno to ENOMEM upon failure. Glibc assumes that this is done (and the
glibc versions of these routines do this); if you use a private malloc
implementation that does not set errno, then certain library routines may
fail without having a reason in errno.
Notably, thread_test otherwise fails an assertion deep in glibc.
