I'm using svsim with the -Werror option in CFLAGS, but I've noticed a change in the way calloc is used in gcc14:https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?331882-Latest-gcc-compiler

And this problem is also present in many other open source projects:

• kitty
• gamescope
• pesign

Although many chisel users are not using such a high version of gcc, I felt it was important to let people know about this issue

Thank you for the fix! Funny that so many (present company included obviously) get this backward.
