This is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444488
Use glibc.pthread.stack_cache_size tunable

  Since glibc 2.34 the internal/private stack_cache_maxsize variable
  isn't available anymore, which causes "sched WARNING: pthread stack
  cache cannot be disabled!" when the simhint no_nptl_pthread_stackcache
  is set (e.g. in helgrind/tests/tls_threads.vgtest)

Cheers,
