See my other message.  I'm attaching the configure.ac patch I used.

With a bit of luck, newer valgrind versions will even recognize the
interposed malloc, simplifying leak detection.

There could be glitches due to the way gmalloc.c works.  And it's
unusual not to interpose malloc_usable_size when you interpose the other
functions.  valign and pvalign are missing too (but really obscure).
