Any libraries listed on the command line will be used before (the
implied) -lc.  So simply adding -lgnumalloc should do the trick.  If
you add a "-v" to the link command, you'll see all the libraries and
their order.  For example (with a lot of stuff trimmed out):

	thoreau:/tmp 5> cc -v -o foo foo.c -lgnumalloc
	Using builtin specs.
	gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)
	[...]
	 /usr/libexec/collect2 [...] -lgnumalloc -lgcc -lc -lgcc [...]
