new malloc = userland, not kernel.

Yeah but I don't install world without first doing install kernel :)

I think I was crack smoking here..
Recompiling the new libc with NO_MALLOC_EXTRAS reduced the memory usage
*significantly*.

Yes, I'd expect the memory usage to decrease if you build with NO_MALLOC_EXTRAS, since redzone overhead is 32 bytes per object. Do you see any evidence of unbounded X memory usage though?

A make.conf knob would be highly appreciated here :)

Why not just append to CFLAGS in make.conf? NO_MALLOC_EXTRAS is a development-only flag, since the malloc debug features will be disabled for releases, so a make.conf knob would have no relevance to releases. Unless there's serious worry about cpp namespace pollution, I don't understand the need for the patch you provided.

Thanks,
Jason
