Subject: Set PYTHONMALLOC in the test suite
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f717822dd7b07c8b1cb92a19bc4778bd9c967116;p=binutils-gdb.git

Set PYTHONMALLOC in the test suite

Setting PYTHONMALLOC helped me locate an earlier bug.  It seems to me
that there aren't big downsides to always setting this during testing,
and it might help find other bugs in the future.
