configure.ac can define a macro that tells gmalloc.c about the kludge 
situation, and gmalloc.c can refer to that macro to decide whether to 
call rpl_free instead of plain 'free'.

Also, make sure that hybrid_free preserves errno.

Without these fixes some Gnulib code will possibly stop working, since 
the rest of Gnulib assumes 'free' preserves errno.
