The problem is that you're asking ld to link against libmalloc.a or
libmalloc.so but it can't find either of these.

Do you have a libmalloc.a or .so? If so, make sure that ld is searching
the path it's in (you can add paths using '-L').

Do you really need libmalloc? The function is probably available in the
C library unless you've got special requirements. Check your OS C
library documentation.
