Please put this issue in its context. 6 months ago, there was no more Refleak buildbot and everything was broken.

If you want to make regrtest -R stricer, go ahead. But if a buildbot breaks, you will have to fix it.

I would prefer to first fix the Gentoo Refleak buildbot, since most previous builds failed.
