> Our {{TS_CHECK_TCMALLOC}} does not work.
> I found this when compiling --with-tcmalloc on Ubuntu, where the {{tcmalloc}} library is called {{tcmalloc_minimal}}. (And its corresponding -dev package, will, intuitively be named {{libgoogle-perftools-dev}}. )
> But none of this actually matters. I don't need to have any tcmalloc libraries installed for this to fail horribly: {{-ltcmalloc}} will be added to the build simply because I specified {{--with-tcmalloc}} this causes pretty much everything in the configure run to break, or at least run with defaults. (e.g.: glibc2 is not recognized to have a reentrant {{gethostbyname()}}, see TS-2331)
> proposal: ACTUALLY check if {{tcmalloc}} can be found, abort {{configure}} if it can't.
