No, please try building the latest HEAD of the emacs-25 branch, or the
latest release candidate of Emacs 25.2.

If you see a file ralloc.o in the src directory after building Emacs,
then the build uses ralloc.c.

Emacs 25.2 is about to be released in a couple of days, but I'm not
sure you built that version.
