"malloc-simple" was written from scratch for uClibc, and is the
simplest possible (and therefore smallest) malloc implementation.
- It is rather dumb, and certainly isn't the fastest. But it is 100%
- standards compliant, thread safe, and very small.
+ This uses only the mmap() system call to allocation memory, and does

"malloc-standard" is derived from the public domain dlmalloc
implementation by Doug Lea. It is quite fast, and is pretty smart
