Given the low activity of all existing committers (including me), I'd
say: enough dedication ...
Regarding your malloc stuff: there is a testsuite in the source
repository, glued around simulavr. It contains a number of regression
tests to make sure no older malloc bug has been re-introduced. It
would be really cool if you could see whether you can get that
testsuite to some life, and to test your patch.
Otherwise, I love the idea of allowing malloc() to become reentrant.
Another idea would be moving the existing malloc into a malloc_r()
implementation, with standard malloc() wrapping around it. That's
basically what newlib does for ARM-GCC.
