opengroup may define a standard, but malloc in a little OS called Solaris can
also return EAGAIN -
"no memory when you asked, but try again in a moment if you like"

but as said, it's not up to the library to hide the OS from the app, so not
all that relevant

ENOMEM is the only error malloc can return according to opengroup:
