OK, the lib/deps dir is created here in "configure":

if test $AUTO_DEPEND = yes; then
   for dir in $AUTODEPEND_PARENTS; do
     as_dir=$dir/deps; as_fn_mkdir_p
   done
fi

So either this has to also mkdir lib/deps/malloc (which seems odd), or
the lib/malloc/* files should be moved up one step.  But they're
presumably in a sub-directory for a reason?
