Nor could it, if IBM wanted to.  The malloc in the C library is 
pre-bound with the other modules in the shared library.  This would
give you two different "malloc()"'s, which won't work.  So far as
I know, you would have to not use any functions in the C library
in order to use your own malloc.

Or you could just rename the malloc you want to use to "mymalloc()"
and hope those two malloc's can co-operate with each other ...
