Thanks for your answer Nick, but I don't get you:

It seems tor has a configure option to support tcmalloc since 2008; I 
guess I could be wrong (again) but I understand that if the configure 
script supports the tcmalloc option is because, is some sense, the 
compilation will use as well the mentioned libraries.

So?
