Thanks Natanael. Is the new package ready?

I will update as soon as the package is available, try to repro and report back.

Thanks everyone for looking into this!

atomic? Hard to say, since we haven't done the "audit all the callers" step 
that Stefan mentioned. If you're going to replace memcpy with __builtin_memcpy 
then the safest thing is to do it for all those uses (this will also give you 
much better generated code for performance purposes).
I figured that and that is exactly what I did. Fernando: Can you please test 
the binary from qemu-system-x86_64-3.1.0-r3 from alpine edge? I will backport 
the fix if you can confirm it fixes the problem. Thanks! -nc PS. Those issues 
are pretty hard to track down, so big thanks to everyone who helped find the 
exact issue here. You have done a great work!
