Yes, if another library calls the system malloc directly, the module 
author will be stuck with that behavior. However, many libraries let or 
require the caller to allocate memory, or provide ways for the caller to 
specify the memory-allocator functions, and module authors should prefer 
this to having the libraries invoke malloc directly, because Emacs wants 
to do memory accounting etc.
