This looks like you got part of the build compiled with BASH_MALLOC and
part without.

If you compile with the bash malloc enabled, you'll get references to
bash_malloc, but then you need to link with the bash malloc library in
${BUILD_DIR}/lib/malloc.

I'm surprised that you somehow got sh_malloc references in gen-helpfiles,
since that file explicitly undefines all of the names that would get you
using the bash malloc.

My advice is to run `make distclean' and start from scratch with the 
default build options, then go from there. Your system can't be *that*
much of an oddball.
