It was already stated in the Emacs context in Feb 2014, when Ondřej raised
the issue on emacs-devel, that (a) Emacs already works without
malloc_get_state, and (b) "Emacs by itself should not inhibit glibc from
making significant malloc performance improvements that would benefit a
large set of programs". See
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-02/msg00542.html>.
