I don't object to this change if you can reliably ensure that nothing in the pre-dump emacs will call malloc.
We can't reliably ensure that, I'm afraid, as Emacs might call some library function that in turn calls malloc. It might be a 3rd-party library that Emacs has no control over.
Why can't pre-dump emacs call malloc? Is it a performance thing or a correctness thing? If a performance thing it shouldn't be much of a problem, as we can arrange for Emacs to never directly call malloc, and that should be the vast majority of the calls.
