Starting with glibc 2.33, mallinfo is deprecated in favor of the new mallinfo2 API. Both APIs work the same way, the only difference is, that mallinfo2 uses size_t instead of int for the fields of the struct, containing the information about malloc. Please see the [glibc release notes](https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-February/122207.html).

Testing with tier1 on a system with glibc 2.33 and on a system with glibc 2.31.
