When you compile with a external malloc library, you have to manually
stop configure from picking functions from libc that can't be used with
the external library.

For gnumalloc:
setenv ac_cv_func_mallinfo=no
setenv ac_cv_func_mallocblksize=no
setenv ac_cv_func_mallopt=no
./configure
make clean
make install

I have attached a completely untested patch for configure.in. You need
autoconf to rebuild configure after applying the patch.
