Related binutils bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26585 From $EPREFIX/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.37_p1-r1/work/build/gold/config.log: configure:9973: checking for mallinfo configure:9973: aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-g++ -o conftest -O2 -O2 -pipe -L/cvmfs/pilot.eessi-hpc.org/versions/2021.12/compat/linux/aarch64/usr/lib64 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=/cvmfs/pilot.eessi-hpc.org/versions/2021.12/compat/linux/aarch64/lib64/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 conftest.cpp -ldl >&5 configure:9973: $? = 0 configure:9973: result: yes configure:9973: checking for mallinfo2 configure:9973: aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-g++ -o conftest -O2 -O2 -pipe -L/cvmfs/pilot.eessi-hpc.org/versions/2021.12/compat/linux/aarch64/usr/lib64 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=/cvmfs/pilot.eessi-hpc.org/versions/2021.12/compat/linux/aarch64/lib64/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 conftest.cpp -ldl >&5 configure:9973: $? = 0 So the configure (correctly) detects that both mallinfo2 and mallinfo are supported, since mallinfo was deprecated in glibc 2.33 (cfr. NEWS file in glibc).
This is definitely more complicated, since the linked upstream bug is for 2.36 and should be long fixed here. Do you have better results with 2.37_p1 or with 2.37_p1-r2 ? Could you test 2.38 please?
