Research direction

Start by locating the jemalloc.pc file and the configuration handling for --with-jemalloc-prefix=X. Check how pkg-config variables are exposed, then verify that pkg-config --variable=symbol_prefix jemalloc reports the configured prefix. Done means packages can discover the exposed symbol prefix through jemalloc.pc.
