Description
I would like to build lean4 for Fedora with mimalloc, however currently lean4 builds mimalloc from git source.
Instead I would like to be able to use the Fedora mimalloc package.
Could it be possible to use a shared system library for this?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Lean 4 build configuration that fetches and builds mimalloc, then inspect how external libraries are selected. Done means Fedora's shared mimalloc package can be used instead of building mimalloc from git, with the existing build still working.
