--- Comment #2 from Jan Beich <jbeich@FreeBSD.org> ---
On Linux/glibc <malloc.h> defines extensions (e.g., memalign,
malloc_usable_size, mallinfo) that FreeBSD provides via <malloc_np.h> (e.g.,
*allocx, malloc_usable_size, mallctl) while similar to upstream jemalloc. If
FreeBSD doesn't want to implement glibc extensions like Solaris maybe time =
to
remove <malloc.h> instead e.g.,
