This patch fixes two issues, and perhaps should be two distinct commits,
but I present it here as one for the sake of completeness.
Commit 006dd86111 fails to check malloc's
return in intl/dcigettext.c (_nl_find_msg):
~~~
freemem_size = INITIAL_BLOCK_SIZE;
newmem = (transmem_block_t *) malloc (freemem_size);
...
newmem->next = transmem_list;
transmem_list = newmem;
~~~
If malloc fails then newmem is NULL then newmem->next results in a
fault.
The fix is easy enough, check for newmem != NULL, and fall through to
the error condition below which returns (char *) -1 e.g. resource error.
The problem is that returning (char *) -1 will break all sorts of other
code, so while what we did is correct, the real failure case fix is
slightly broader.
There are 4 other places where _nl_find_msg is called, one is OK, the
other three are fixed to handle -1 error return value.
No regressions on x86-64 or x86.
However, no regressions isn't really a useful metric for this code.
The change was tested as documented here:
http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Testing/WhiteBox
using SystemTap for fault injection to simulate malloc failure.

[BZ #15441]
* intl/dcigettext.c (DCIGETTEXT): Skip translating if _nl_find_msg
returns -1.
(_nl_find_msg): Return -1 if recursive call returned -1. If newmem is
null return -1.
* intl/loadmsgcat.c (_nl_load_domain): If _nl_find_msg returns -1 abort
loading the domain.
This helps testing for regression of BZ#15339. Creation of network
isolated environments is a privileged operation and therefore is not
included to the test.
Fixes BZ #15339.
NSS_STATUS_UNAVAIL may mean that a necessary input resource is not
available. This could occur in a number of cases including when the
network is down, system runs out of file descriptors, etc. The
correct differentiator in such a case is the h_errno, which gives the
nature of failure. In case of failures other than a simple 'not
found', we set h_errno as NETDB_INTERNAL and let errno be the
identifier for the exact error.
This implementation speed up memset in several ways. First is avoiding
expensive computed jump. Second is using fact that arguments of memset
are most of time aligned to 8 bytes.
Benchmark results on:

We add new memcpy version that uses unaligned loads which are fast
on modern processors. This allows second improvement which is avoiding
computed jump which is relatively expensive operation.

Resolves: #15424
The compiler would optimize the benchmark function call out of the
loop and call it only once, resulting in blazingly fast times for some
benchmarks (notably atan, sin and cos). Mark the inputs as volatile
so that the code is forced to read again from the input for each
iteration.
[BZ #15442] This adds support for the inverse interpretation of the
quiet bit of IEEE 754 floating-point NaN data that some processors
use. This includes in particular MIPS architecture processors; the
payload used for the canonical qNaN encoding is updated accordingly
so as not to interfere with the quiet bit.
The EXTRACT_WORDS64 and INSERT_WORDS64 macros use movd for a 64-bit
operation. Somehow gcc manages to turn this into movq, but LLVM won't.

* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/math_private.h (MOVQ): New macro.
(EXTRACT_WORDS64) Use where appropriate.
(INSERT_WORDS64) Likewise.
While these instructions accept memory operands, only one operand
may be a memory operand. Giving two operands xm constraints gives
the compiler the option of using memory for both operands, which
would result in invalid assembly code. Using x for all operands is
more appropriate, as most x86_64 calling conventions will pass the
arguments in registers anyway.

* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/multiarch/s_fma.c (__fma_fma4): Replace xm
constraints with x constraints.
* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/multiarch/s_fmaf.c (__fmaf_fma4): Likewise.
it is impossible to create an alias of a common symbol (as
compat_symbol does), because common symbols do not have a section or
an offset until linked. GNU as tolerates aliases of common symbols by
simply creating another common symbol, but other assemblers (notably
LLVM's integrated assembler) are less tolerant.

* malloc/obstack.c (_obstack_compat): Add initializer.
