commit 5bc17330eb7667b96fee8baf3729c3310fa28b40
Author: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>

    elf: dl-minimal malloc needs to respect fundamental alignment
    
    The dynamic linker currently uses __libc_memalign for TLS-related
    allocations.  The goal is to switch to malloc instead.  If the minimal
    malloc follows the ABI fundamental alignment, we can assume that malloc
    provides this alignment, and thus skip explicit alignment in a few
    cases as an optimization.
    
    It was requested on libc-alpha that MALLOC_ALIGNMENT should be used,
    although this results in wasted space if MALLOC_ALIGNMENT is larger
    than the fundamental alignment.  (The dynamic linker cannot assume
    that the non-minimal malloc will provide an alignment of
    MALLOC_ALIGNMENT; the ABI provides _Alignof (max_align_t) only.)
