      1) Include a newer version of GNU malloc (hopefully with a better
         interface for hooks).

I have nothing against that.

      2) Use the system malloc if pthreads are needed.
         (emacs_blocked_malloc etc. will be unnecessary when SYNC_INPUT
          becomes default.)

There is a serious problem with SYNC_INPUT, which is the reason it has
not been made the default.  The problem is that it makes Emacs unable
to update the display except when it can read input.
