----------------------------------------
Hi all,

I'm running macOS 15.2, and on my machine the test `TestGc#test_gc_stress_at_startup` results in an assertion failure.

These are my current configure flags:

```
../configure \
    --prefix="$SOURCEDIR/ruby_3.4.1" \
    --enable-debug-env \
    --enable-devel \
    cppflags="-DRUBY_DEBUG" \
    optflags="-O0 -fno-omit-frame-pointer"
```

make command line for running tests (invoked from the build directory):

```
make test-all TESTS="../test/ruby/test_gc.rb --name=TestGc#test_gc_stress_at_startup"
```

output:

```
Run options:
  --seed=7555
  "--ruby=./miniruby -I../lib -I. -I.ext/common  ../tool/runruby.rb --extout=.ext  -- --disable-gems"
  --excludes-dir=../test/.excludes
  --name=!/memory_leak/
  --name=TestGc#test_gc_stress_at_startup
