The attached ebuild should fix this. Can you please download this ebuild and place it in /usr/portage/dev-libs/dmalloc, then issue "ebuild /usr/portage/dev-libs/dmalloc/dmalloc-4.8.2-r2 digest" and then treat it as a normal ebuild (i.e. "emerge dmalloc"). Note: this is no official answer (I don't maintain dmalloc and have little experience with ebuilds), but if it helps it should be committed.
sounds reasonable to me. made changes to dmalloc.
