You would need to do that if you wanted to use a debugging malloc. But there's
no particular reason to think that you should need to do this just to work
properly.

Two mallocs can work fine alongside each other. They each call mmap or sbrk to
allocate new pages and they each manage the pages they've received. They won't
have any idea why the allocator seems to be skipping pages, but they should be
careful not to touch those pages.
