It's possible that there's a bigger problem here; but if so, wouldn't it the same bigger problem exist on non-glibc platforms already? If so, any fix should also work on any future glibc platforms that lack malloc_get_state.
More generally, Emacs by itself should not inhibit glibc from making significant malloc performance improvements that would benefit a large set of programs. If Emacs is the main reason these improvements aren't being made, then we should go ahead and make them, as we should be able to tweak Emacs to work well with the resulting system.
