Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that when I get the time 
(not now, as I have other things to attend to).

If it's easy, could you please give a few details about which 
hybrid-malloc changes you mean? My first thought is to use all the 
hybrid-malloc code in Emacs master, except that 'configure' should be 
modified to use the code only if it detects that it is using a glibc 
version that lacks the recently-removed external symbol. If you have a 
better idea in mind please let us know.
