Stil trying to wrap my head around all this, but after first look,..
How does this related to "tst_brkm_" from lib/tst_res.c?
Can it be simplified? It doesn't look like we can reach newlib branch
now, because tst_test condition is now in tst_brkm macro.
Did we loose the check for "Non-NULL cleanup in newlib"?

All variants of tst_brk_ are more and more tricky to remember.
Would it be too much to ask people "when writing new safe function,
take into account that tst_brkm can return" and leave it up to
them how they do it. Maybe they'll see goto more fitting.

Example:
// stuff in your safe function
if (bad) {
    tst_brkm();
    return;
}
// more stuff in your safe function
