You could instead just change the (size_t *) cast to
(volatile size_t *)...
But I think the problem is much deeper. This "optimization" is
necessarily based on the compiler making an assumption about what the
function named "malloc" does. Compiling the implementation (libc)
itself requires disabling such assumptions; with gcc, this is achieved
with -ffreestanding (-fno-builtin will also work). Can you use the
same or similar option with clang?
I made similar comments on IRC..
