This smells like a stable-8.0 material.  Please let me know if it is not.

Thanks,

I postponed this one for now, given the patchset by Helge Deller, here
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2023-07/msg03445.html
which reverts this very change as incorrect.

Thanks,

FWIW, there was an attempt to fix another issue I posted about
yesterday, with libklibc-based apps on armhf, after "linux-user:
Reserve space for brk" commit, here:

   https://github.com/hdeller/qemu-hppa/commits/upx-fix

(which reverts this very commit).  But apparently it doesn't fix
that issue, libklibc-linked armhf apps still segfaults right at
startup.

This is jfyi, maybe this commit is just another temporary band-aid,
I dunno yet.  Yes it fixes real failures so it's already good.

Thanks,
