Comment (by tom):

 I spoke with cevans and he helped me pull the newest version of ctmalloc
 from http://src.chromium.org/blink/trunk/Source/wtf/PartitionAlloc.h,
 which has the usable_size function needed.  I commented out a bunch of
 macros, successfully built, and it this may get past the sqlite3 problem.
 It crashed in a new spot though.  Progress.
