Description

We can get occasional segfaults in the stdarch test:

  process didn't exit successfully: `/home/runner/work/rustc_codegen_gcc/rustc_codegen_gcc/build/build_sysroot/sysroot_src/library/stdarch/target/debug/deps/core_arch-53a3d90ae57ca2b5` (signal: 11, SIGSEGV: invalid memory reference)

Research direction

Start with the linked GitHub Actions stdarch test run and the failing core_arch test binary shown in the report. Reproduce the occasional SIGSEGV and investigate the failure around that test. Done means the stdarch test completes without the intermittent segmentation fault.
