[Bug libc/5711] New: mallinfo structure cannot hold 64 bit data

["schnetter at cct dot lsu dot edu" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

The mallinfo structure consists of int values.  As documented in the source, it cannot hold 64 bit values, 
and the information may be incorrect.  This is especially a problem on recent x86_64 machines with more 
than 4 GB of memory.

It may be possible to define a new data structure which holds size_t instead of int values.  It may be 
possible to correct some shortcomings of the mallinfo structure at the same time.
