allocatestack.c error during initramfs generation

Hopefully I can get traction on this one.

I'm trying to rescue a zfs on root installation.  Being running zfs for several years however I don't think this is exactly a zfs error.

Used system install CD to mount the zfs root partitions and then did arch-chroot.

Reinstalled zfs-linux and zfs-lts-linux and then attempt to reinstall kernel (pacman -S linux), I'm getting a C compilation error during the mkinitcpio process:

Error repeats a few times.

Not exactly sure what to do with this one.  Brief internet search on allocatestack error really just reveals error with C compilation process and not exactly specific to linux kernel initramfs creation.

Hopefully someone has some thoughts.

Re: allocatestack.c error during initramfs generation

Do you have /boot partition mounted and do you have enough space on it?
Check installed packages with 'pacman -Qk' ?
Reinstall mkinitcpio, lz4 and glibc (with same version as you currently have from cache or ALA)?
Maybe your hard drive is failing?
Corrupted filesystem; do you use zfs native encryption and snapshotting?
What shows 'coredumpctl dump' (after failed update attempt)?
Did you tried to run it with gdb?
