This, as you mention above, has been fixed.

malloc.conf is described fairly well in malloc(3). Perhaps we should
just malloc.conf(5) to the latter? I think it's appropriate, but it
seems kind of awkward to link a section 5 page to a section 3 page.
What do others think?

As above for objformat(1) or getobjformat(3).

This should probably be a minimal page that describes that this is a
symlink to another zone file and links to tzsetup(8) or similar.

I don't think these need manual pages.
