Yes and no. The biggest issue is that you still have to deal with the
malloc(0) case by using a wrapper for that and you can't detect it for
cross-compiling. It also means that you assume that libc malloc is
always used, which is a possibly bad assumption.

I seriously doubt that it helps much in that regard.
