Thanks for doing that.
However, it would be more accurate to restate that.  E.g.,

    Cater to a few systems with non-conforming malloc functions.

You've expanded gnulib's set of target systems to include some with
non-conforming malloc functions.  Adding these new dependencies makes it
clear that these modules depend on what at least I had previously-assumed
was a given: POSIX-conforming malloc functions.
