I will spend some time tomorrow compiling the release blockers for 2.24, so
please use this thread as placeholder to discuss them.  I would like to
have them defined by the end of tomorrow.

I would like to get in the malloc_set_state/malloc_get_state changes:

  <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00905.html>

The test depends on some new ELF symbol hacks which enable linking against compatibility symbols from test.

I assume we also need the memalign changes for the dynamic linker to increase Emacs compatibility (with their interposed malloc). But that's a bug fix which could be backported later.

I would also like to finish review of the stack-protector changes and make them part of the release (disabled by default). They may end up having a dependency on Stefan Liebler's IFUNC changes.
