This avoids the need to build lib/e-gettime.o etc. on glibc
platforms, as plain lib/gettime.o will do.
* configure.ac (HAVE___LIBC_MALLOC): New symbol.
* lib/Makefile.in (all): Don’t build libegnu.a if HAVE___LIBC_MALLOC.
* lib/gnulib.mk.in: Regenerate.
* src/Makefile.in (HAVE___LIBC_MALLOC): New macro.
(LIBEGNU_ARCHIVE): Use it, so that libegnu.a is not needed
if HAVE___LIBC_MALLOC.
* src/conf_post.h (malloc, realloc, aligned_alloc, calloc, free):
Do not define as macros if HAVE___LIBC_MALLOC, since they are
now defined as functions in that case.
* src/gmalloc.c (hybrid_malloc, hybrid_realloc, hybrid_calloc)
(hybrid_aligned_alloc, hybrid_free): Define to plain malloc etc.,
if HAVE___LIBC_MALLOC, since the hybrid functions replace the
standard ones in that case.
(malloc, realloc, calloc, free): Define to __libc_malloc etc.,
if HAVE___LIBC_MALLOC, as that is the way to call the standard ones
in that case.
(aligned_alloc): No need to declare if HAVE___LIBC_MALLOC,
since we don’t replace it.
(hybrid_aligned_alloc): Do not call aligned_alloc if
HAVE___LIBC_MALLOC, since there is no __libc_aligned_alloc.
Use posix_memalign instead.

The patch has a typo, and when I fixed the typo and debugged Emacs I found that the patch sometimes made Emacs crashed. Apparently the problem is that the dynamic linker uses gmalloc once the patch is made, and gmalloc is not compatible with what the dynamic linker expects. Oh well. Closing.
