Ahh, but as I found out trying 1.5.2beta, the library we use
requires libmalloc, and not the libc malloc; it wants mallopt.
To make things worse, it doesn't actually *use* that function.
It contains an internal function which references mallopt but the
header files don't list the internal function so none of our code
uses it. We only need the -lmalloc for creating shared libs with
1.5.2. I believe their current version removed this requirement.
