(I just realized I never actually replied to this!)
Configuring with "--disable-stackvma" seems to fix this. Doing this
makes libsigsegv use a different heuristic for determining if a SIGSEGV
was a stack overflow. I don't think it should impact functionality.
Perhaps just apply that to aarch64 until there's a proper fix?
This is probably a QEMU bug... I will try to report this to upstream
QEMU when I can, as I can't find my notes on this right now.
