The gnulib module 'malloc' does not provide a "full malloc implementation".
It provides only a thin wrapper around the system's malloc implementation.

In general, most of gnulib's function replacements consist of wrapper that fix
only the set of bugs/limitations that were discovered through autoconf tests.
