The idea is that after step 3.5 is executed, Emacs won't be using deprecated malloc-related symbols. Emacs may supply its own malloc implementation that provides the deprecated functionality, presumably using Emacs-specific names, but Emacs won't be using glibc's __malloc_initialize_hook, malloc_set_state, etc. As I understand it, this should satisfy Florian's concern.
