Description:
------------
I was testing my code against the ppc64le architecture on TravisCI and ran into this issue. I've had the error both on TravisCI and using qemu-system-ppc64 with ondrej/php. I don't believe I had the same problem on PHP 7.2.

With this:
printf "run\nbt" | USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 gdb --args php -r '(object)[];'

and then killing while it's busy allocating my entire system memory with kill -3, I get:

Test script:
---------------
This is all that is needed to reproduce it:
php -r 'var_dump((object) []);'


The QEMU setup script I'm using:
https://gist.github.com/jbboehr/ea36d5347429cbc5c86f251cb851150f

Expected result:
----------------
object(stdClass)#1 (0) {
}

Actual result:
--------------
mmap() failed: [12] Cannot allocate memory

mmap() failed: [12] Cannot allocate memory
PHP Fatal error:  Out of memory (allocated 3506438144) (tried to allocate 536870912 bytes) in Command line code on line 1

I was having trouble replicating it on the `PHP-7.4` branch, but I recompiled with the options used in ondrej/php and then was able to replicate it again. 

Probably something in the CFLAGS is triggering it:
CFLAGS=-g -O3 -fdebug-prefix-map=/build/php7.4-1KR0i7/php7.4-7.4.7=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -O2 -Wall -pedantic -fsigned-char -fno-strict-aliasing -g

I can only suggest to bisect the flags to figure out which one is responsible. They all aren't particularly exotic, but my best guess would be either -fstack-protector-strong.
 [2020-07-11 23:42 UTC] jbboehr@php.net
It seems to not show up with -O0 but does with -O1 and higher. I'm trying to bisect the individual flags enabled by -O1 but gcc is giving weird errors.
