Have you not read the replies to your other emails?  malloc() is part of
libc, and libc is not a part of gcc.  So you can't "place that file into
the gcc package" because it is not a part of gcc.

If you want your malloc() to be called you either need to patch your
libc to use your patched version of the function or you need to supply
your memory management library as a regular library and ensure that the
application links against it for those functions.  In either case gcc is
not part of the equation because gcc does not include a C library.
