bug#48064: texlive-* packages fail to build non-deterministically

[Thiago Jung Bauermann]

Hello,

I was able to do a build of texlive-amscls with `export MALLOC_CHECK_=2`, 
and a core dump was generated. I managed to get a guix environment with 
debuginfo for texlive-bin, but for some reason it still doesn’t have 
debug info for glibc available. FYI, this was the command line I used:

$ guix environment texlive-amscls --with-debug-info=texlive-bin \
        --ad-hoc valgrind gdb glibc:debug

Valgrind isn’t working because of the lack of glibc debug info, but I was 
able to get the backtrace below from the core file, using GDB. I am yet to
analyse it and see if it provides any clue:

Core was generated by `luatex amsclass.ins'.
Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
