[issue39576] Surprising MemoryError in `decimal` with MAX_PREC

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah <stefan at bytereef.org> added the comment:

Has anything emerged xlc-wise? Traceback, does it work --without-pymalloc?

I have the feeling that (in many OSS projects) the more complex xlc
issues never get resolved after the initial report.

So I'm contemplating to do the same as 

   https://devhub.vr.rwth-aachen.de/soehrl/arbor/commit/775fe80796c717da4ed61e1cb7ace27268afc965

and disable the xlc build for _decimal.
