This should work, I think:

  $ REL_ALLOC=no CFLAGS='<whatever>' ... ./configure ...

IOW, set REL_ALLOC=no before running the configure script, and leave
the rest of the settings and configure switches intact.  If this
works, you should see

  Should Emacs use a relocating allocator for buffers?   no

at the end of the configure run, and src/config.h should have

  /* Define REL_ALLOC if you want to use the relocating allocator for buffer
     space. */
  /* #undef REL_ALLOC */

gmalloc.c should still be compiled, but ralloc.c should not (delete
ralloc.o to be sure).

Thanks.
