You need to keep the old version of mallinfo in libc.so.  There are
plenty of examples
in glibc source:

malloc/hooks.c:#if SHLIB_COMPAT (libc, GLIBC_2_0, GLIBC_2_25)
malloc/hooks.c:#endif   /* SHLIB_COMPAT */
malloc/malloc.c:#if SHLIB_COMPAT (libc, GLIBC_2_0, GLIBC_2_24)
malloc/malloc.c:#if SHLIB_COMPAT (libc, GLIBC_2_0, GLIBC_2_26)
malloc/obstack.c:#  if SHLIB_COMPAT (libc, GLIBC_2_0, GLIBC_2_3_4)
