    newlib: libc: Fix memory leak in computematchjumps()
    
    In cases where malloc fails for the 'g->matchjump' allocation, the code
    path does not handle the failure gracefully, potentially leading to a
    memory leak. This fix ensures proper cleanup by freeing the allocated
    memory for 'pmatches' before returning.
