The GNU project has released a newer version of malloc that gets
rid of all the EXFUN nonsense in malloc.h. Whoever is maintaining
the Linux C library ought to be aware of this. The new version
of malloc can be obtained from alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu:/gnu/malloc.tar.Z.
It should make your problems go away if you can figure out how to
install it properly.
